I lived to see it

This night is not about Hillary losing her quest for the nomination. This night is not about the corpse that is John McCain practicing his Toastmaster speaking project on C-Span.

This is about a man who made possible the improbable. This is about the best this country, indeed, this world has to offer. This is about reclaiming the American spirit of ingenuity, intellect and vision.

This is about Barack Obama and those of us whose hopes and dreams he embodies.

This is about a man who bested lifelong politicians and entrenched machines and every "ism" known to man.

This is about tomorrow, today.

This election is about us, and this moment is about the man who delivered to those of us who believe an opportunity to hope and matter again.

Thank you, Barack and Michelle.
