My daughter is 4 months old and her mom brought her to the rally (I’d have been there myself but I’m out of town). We figure we can tell her all about it when she’s older.

It’s even more of an accomplishment when you understand that in no way was it inevitable. The national reconciliation that has taken place (with still more to come I hope) is not always found around the world.

Cyprus is still split between Greece and Turkey.
Bosnia, Rwanda, and too many more to mention may never have such a chance to heal their wounds.

So celebrate the rarity, may many more countries head down that path.

I’ve waited a long time to be able to start feeling proud of my country again. It feels damn good.

I think that President Obama will also be an inspiration for little girls and boys of all races. I know that some Clinton supporters cannot fathom that Obama would inspire a little girl to be POTUS, but Obama is not only a natural leader with wonderful plans for America — he also represents all of us who love this country and have struggled to make it a better place. Obama represents a diverse and United America.

I am white, and my wife is African American. We plan to have children in a few years, and I look forward to telling them they can truly be anything they want to be when they grow up, and to tell them about President Obama.
