Back at the start of this election campaign and again recently I redicted
that Obama would NOT be elected president. I based that on my feeling that
too many americans were not ready for an African American President. I
thought they were still too predjudiced.

I did not think I would live long enough to see the berlin wall come down.

I was wrong.

I did not think I would live to see the end of the Cold War.

I was wrong.

And I did not believe I would live to see an African American President.

I was wrong again.

I'm glad I was wrong. Not because I supported Obama, but because I have
lived to see this country do the right thing. They elected a man for his
beliefs and policies not based on the color of his skin.

Tonight I am even prouder to be an American.

Thanks Wes. I guess since it's only virtual I can go off the wagon. Many
years ago when I was drinking my BOC was 7&7. I still miss it.

And even virtual, you can always go non-alcoholic, too! (teas are
good, and my boc is usually coffee...<G>)
