Congratulations Obama, America, World!

January 20, 2009
2 Comments

“Martin Luther King walked so that Barack Obama could run,” said one boy. “Barack Obama ran,” said another, “so that all children could fly.” — Harper’s Weekly Review, 20 Jan 2007 (quoting Jeezy!)

Today, we hold heads high, jump for joy, savor this historic, hopeful moment.

Tomorrow, noses to the grind. Support and criticize. We have our work cut out.

    another version: “Rosa sat so Martin could walk, Martin walked so Obama could run, Obama ran so our children can fly!” YEAH OBAMA!
