Most of all, I want those who are uplifted by the historical significance of Obama's election to soak it up and revel in the moment. There is real joy and a sense of new pride among many who believed this day would never come. To see it in their faces and hear it in their conversation is truly remarkable. If anything, their honeymoon is long overdue.

Honest to God, it's this sentiment, expressed by otto and several others I've heard who were just as strident during the election season, that finally gives me some freaking hope for America. Let's just TRY pulling together for once! Let's just see what happens. It's been since literally September 13, 2001 or so that this country had anything like an experience of unity, and that was under horrible circumstances, and was gone into a cloud of partisanship in a matter of days. How about let's have a little unity FOR something, and just SEE, you know?
Thanks for that, otto. Seriously.
