"Rosa sat, so that Martin could walk.
Martin walked, so that Obama could run.
Obama ran, so our children can fly."

(A poem my father heard on NPR a few days ago. He couldn't remember who wrote it, so if you know, please let me know, kthx.)

Congratulations, President-Elect Barack Obama.


YES WE CAN. YES WE DID. AND YES WE WILL.

:cries with you:

[livejournal.com profile] spattergroit just posted a video that some celebs did with Barack's speech and of course it made much more weepy, because his speech was great, but adding music to it made me smaltzy...lol.

Especially this part; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.

:pumps fist: YES WE CAN!!!!!
