I'll have more to say on the election later tonight, but this morning, I wanted to make sure my dear readers who probably didn't stay up until the wee hours of the morning to see and hear President Obama's Victory Speech had a chance to see it.
It won't surprise you that I stayed up. I was chatting with old friends via text messaging and instant messaging. And then I fell asleep mid-speech. It was a very late night and this morning I'm exhausted, but oh so happy.
I did see Mitt Romney's complete concession speech and have to give him kudos for a great speech.
I hope that no matter what party you identify with, you'll take a few minutes to hear President Obama talk about unity and how he is the ENTIRE President of the United States. He understands there is healing that needs to happen in our country and I believe he's committed to making that happen. It's my fondest wish this morning that all of the newly elected or re-elected officials will take a deep breath, look across the aisle, work to make peace. I hope they also all take a few minutes to examine their own responsibility for why we are so divided, because this is a problem we all caused, not just "the other guys."
Watch the video and be inspired. And, as always, if you're reading this via the daily email, you'll have to visit the blog to watch the video.
If Romney had been that gracious throughout his campaign, who knows what would have happened. President Obama gave a great speech as well, of course, and I hope in the next four years we may actually get something done.
