Day 42 - OBAMA
"For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus - and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace."
-Barack Hussein Obama, 2009 Presidential Inauguration
I am entirely proud to be part of this resurgence of pride and patriotism. As a young American, this is the first time in my life I've felt truly proud, faithful, and hopeful. I know that Obama is not a magician; I know he won't make every problem go away tomorrow. But I have faith that he is going to change the world. In fact, I can guarantee he will. I could not be happier that this day has come.
P.S. Ignore the 2008 on my shirt...it was my Election Day attire!
