Obama...Hope...Promise...American Pride

Politics in a sports blog? Just this once...

This is historic. Though I knew I would be dissapointed if America voted against Obama and for four more years of the same methodologies, what I didn't expect was the immense pride I felt when it was announced that America had voted Obama the next President.

More than relief, for maybe the first time in my life, I felt real and true pride. Pride in front of the rest of the world and pride in the evidence of our equality.

Tomorrow is a new day. We have done our part today.

Thank you America.
