Yes We Can!

The outcome of this election brings faith to many Americans.  Just as Obama said:

 "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... It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always be, the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA."

Those words sent a chill down my spine.  It is a sign of change and hope.  I actually felt good about the outcome, and feel that things are going to get "better".  I know its not going to happen over night, but with optimism on our side, maybe thats all we really need...
