In a moment...

Just over 40 years ago, Martin Luther King proclaimed: “…I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal’. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character…”

Last night the American public fulfilled King’s bold dream, and President-Elect Barack Hussein Obama picked up the torch and humbly declared: “If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.”

Regardless of your political leanings, regardless of how you may have voted, there is no denying that in the blink of an eye last night, The United States of America redeemed its promise of being a land where anything is possible, where anyone can realize their dream, and where centuries of wrongs were overcome.

What a beautiful moment.
