Proud that we were able to remember our mistakes and move forward.
That our collective memory is short but our sense of American pride is long.
That out of darkness we rose up instead of shrinking beneath.
That our President speaks in full sentences with real words and we endeavor to keep up instead of keeping ourselves down.
That the American spirit is indomitable but malleable, optimistic and idealistic, determined and steadfast.
I am proud of all of us right now and I am ready to take responsibility and move forward.
And to quote Lucy, "Go Obama! G-O Obama!"
