If the comments about people crying last night have to do with watching Jessy Jackson in tears last night. Think about what he's seen and done in his life time. He tried running for president before and probably thought no black person would ever hold that office in his lifetime. After all the civil rights work he has done, this is a bid deal. The same for many of the people last night. People of all back grounds can look at this with hope that all people can be judged as "just people" now, not by their skin color.
I really believe that Obama's simple message of hope and everyone doing their part was what the country needed at this time. He was the one selling the product that most of the country wanted to buy.
One of the things that really resonated with the crowd last night, and at some of the rallies, was that we need to reach out to each other, to forget our differences and work together.
I am so glad this election is over! No matter how friendly and good natured some of it has been, I am ready for the political bickering to end.
