The morning after often has negative connotations. It implies regret. It suggests a clearer perspective over actions, thoughts, promises made in the dark that would have been different in the light of day. but not this morning! Not the morning after Barack Hussein Obama - became the president elect; the 44th president of the united states. On this morning after there is no regret; no belief that another decision would have been better; no thought that the light of day would have changed the outcome.
I am aware of those who say they are "afraid" for our country now; [ I listened to those who called in on C-Span - sigh] I heard the woman who plans on "launching investigations" into his citizenship and worthiness [seriously she doesn't think that our numerous covert "alphabet" orginations did that already?]; but I know these people were feeling this way before the win. They will most likely feel this way no matter how well he does. The way I see it that is truly unfortunate particularly for them.
For they will miss the beauty of this moment - that not only is this a good day for African Americans and Americans and the world over [you know our reputation was at stake, right?]
It is a good day... period!
