Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
Last night I watched the election results come in at a bar in Saint Paul with some friends. When Obama was finally called the winner the bar let out a roar. People were cheering, not for a football game, not for a basketball game, but for a presidential candidate winning. They were cheering for a African-American Presidential candidate winning. What a great night, what great day, what a great corner to turn for America.
