barack obama is speaking now. and i am uplifted now as i have been throughout this day-from when i woke this morning to the moment i stepped into the voting booth, an aggregate of 20-something first time voters behind me- and yet, like the president-elect, himself alluded to, i cannot help but look towards tomorrow for answers. i cannot help but look towards tomorrow with trepidation. but that trepidation is perhaps outweighed by the hope that the fervent, electric energy of today is transmitted into four years of work, not only for mr. obama, but for us. we are the generation that inherited post 9-11 america. we are the generation that inherited the worst global economic period since the great depression. and now, we are the generation that elected the first african-american president in the history of our united states. what will we do tomorrow?
"the true strength of this nation comes from...the enduring power of our ideals...democracy, truth, and unyielding hope. what we've already acheived can give us hope for what we can and will acheive tomorrow."- barack obama
