I wasn’t sure who I wanted to see win - so, like Labby, I was a little surprised to find tears in my cynical eyes when Obama won. I guess we’ll just have to see how Obama does. He certainly is facing a lot of challenges. I don’t envy him his job. But putting partisanship aside, or what type of President Obama might make, I heard this morning a quote that I thought summed up really well what transpired last night:

“Rosa Parks sat down so that Martin Luthor King could walk. Martin Luthor King walked so that Obama could run. Obama ran so that our children could fly.”

I think that was the thought behind what brought tears to my eyes. Or maybe I’m just becoming a sentimental old fool blush .
