So, I have to interrupt my hiatus to comment on the election. I wanted to share a scene from my neighborhood last night - a place that is just as American as the next:
Yesterday was an incredible day to be an American. And I would wager that it was even better if you supported and/or voted for Barack Obama. I should know.
I was fortunate enough to be able to celebrate with good friends and the city of New York the election of a freshman, African-American US Senator with a Muslim name just 7 years after 9/11. Last night joined the league of significant events in my lifetime.
For those who didn’t vote for and/or support Barack Obama, my hope is that you were able to reflect on our country’s awesome tradition of transferring political power by peaceful, democratic means. I also hope that any opposition to Mr. Obama comes from a disagreement on the issues and not from fear and/or ignorance.
Today, Mr. Obama has to start working on the job we elected him to do. And we have to continue this awakening of interest of how we can make the United States more awesome.
