My two cents

[flemmings]

About once every twenty years history gets made in a way that feels good. The Berlin Wall, the moon landing, and I wasn't around for whatever came before that. My reactions-- the ones I'll say aloud, that is-- swing between Nicely done and What took you so long. Truly, I really didn't think it would happen. I'm amazed and delighted.

I also remind myself that this is a man whose politics are to the right of Stephen Harper's. Now there's a bucket of next-day cold water in the face.

Oh, certainly better than what McCain looked like, and miles better than what they've had for the last eight years.

I'm just afraid that this radical departure coinciding with a recession will convince the unthinking that the US did indeed fall into the sea because they eleceted a black guy.
