(Community Matters) Today’s the day Americans signal our change in direction & priorities and enter a new phase in our own history. He is the most qualified man – that’s why I support Barack Obama – and I can’t overstate the significance of the first minority president to our nation’s and this world’s history, to inclusion and representation. His election is the dove flying around the world, announcing that Americans have entered a new age and that we repudiate our failed leadership of the last eight years.
Obama would govern from the center
first person I met this morning congratulated me on Obama’s win (I was wearing an O tshirt at Starbucks). I said no, don’t jinx it, thought we were sharing a moment; he was a 30ish, gregarious, hip guy. Before he left he told me he was undecided, that the abortion issue was the single most important to him. I answered that I respected his position and knew he’d also consider the lives of born children. He smiled, thanked me and left saying he liked Barack. Nice fellow. Great Day
