"So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.
Let us remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.
In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people. Let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.
Let's remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.
Those are values that we all share. And while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress."
I'm so glad the guy who inspires people won. There's no doubt that many of us are now filled with hope, optimism, and the motivation to embrace and contribute to real CHANGE. This kind of social awareness is something I've wanted to see in people since I was a little kid- I just hope it grows and builds, and doesn't fizzle-out like a fad. There is so much work to be done... and personally, I need to see that change before I can fully hop on the bandwagon. Sorry! *Ducks rotten tomatoes*
