Reflecting on this Historical moment

We could not have asked for any more inspiring words this afternoon. We could not have been more pacified than we were today. We could not search for any words in our dictionary to measure up to the weight of those that were used today. Conceptually speaking, I think the most immediate comfort was met today by this transition alone. The old ways have today, disintegrated. The frigid nature of our new and treacherous undertakings will be met with calculated decisions and where welcomed input will be duly noted. The sense of togetherness was felt by many today. The collective body of americans know that they must get back to Thomas Jefferson's vision toward a participatory democracy. The challenges facing us are incomprehensible. But we shall together stake our claim in taking back the beauty that was insituted in Philadelphia over two-hundred years ago. The seismic activity in the graveyards where Madison, Hamilton, Webster, and many others have been laid to rest broke ground today. Their souls are listening and they realize that the restoration of their timeless document shall be once again, realized.

We the People are feeling the excitement of the days of Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK, and countless others who have been noticed as successes in the many American Presidency's of this great nation. Time has come to honor the many who have framed this nation as the leader of peace and democracy. We were poisoned, duped, and undermined for long enough. It is our day. It is our year. It is our history that will carry on and unbuckle the restraints that have held is for far too long. Barack Obama is the new hope, the new way, and the new optimism that will remain with us for these next difficult four years. I think I speak for us all when I say let the work begin anew. Let the typical politics that have devoured our freedom and prosperity be laid to rest. Let us unleash the healing powers of the divine so that He may give back to the country and the global community the respect, honor, and dignity we once wore proudly!

Let us all breathe a sigh of relief and carry out our civic duties as citizens toward achieving the once realized strength of this great nation.

I was never more proud to be a part of this special page in history and to be able to feel this moment with so many other like-minded people today. I am rendered speechless and faced with awe as to what has transpired today.

Game on! May God Bless this new President, Barack Obama. And, may God continue to place us and our nation.

James
