An historic day

While I certainly have issues with his policies, there can be no doubt that the election of Barack Obama is a wonderful and historic moment in America. Jonah Goldberg puts it well:
It is a wonderful thing to have the first African-American president. It is a wonderful thing that in a country where feelings are so intense that power can be transferred so peacefully. Let us hope that the Obama his most dedicated — and most sensible! — fans see turns out to be the real Obama. Let us hope that Obama succeeds and becomes a great president, for all the right reasons.
Congratulations to President-Elect Obama. And thus ends one of the liveliest, and longest, campaigns of all time. Along the way a presumptive nominee was toppled and a war hero vanquished. Quite a feat for someone who is, in all fairness, a relative upstart.
The next four years promise to be some of the most interesting ever. And you know what they say? “May you live in interesting times.”
Oh boredom, where art thou…?
Wow. You have way more grace than I.
