That's what it started as, if you click at the bottom you can see what it originally was.

Going forward, I am guardedly optimistic. However, it is great that we elected a black man. The best part of the evening was watching and listening to people like Jesse Jackson and John Lewis who were genuinely emotional. I think there is a tendency on the right to assume that men like are about nothing more than cynically exploiting laid-to-rest racial issues for power and political gain.

I can't think of anything that bag of hate know as Jesse Jackson would be the "Best Part" of. I hope Obama marginalizes him toot-sweet.

Sad that Obama had to be encased in a bulletproof aquarium for his speech. A safety precaution, of course. Sad that it unfortunately is necessary.

Good luck, Obama! (And, GC, yeah...sad, but necessary.)

And thanks, Heidi and Tom, for hosting a few of us at your homestead last night.

To me, this is minor. I don't look at it as having elected a black man, I look at it as we elected a man who happens to be black. To me, his color is irrelevant.

Oh sure you say that now, but what happens down the line when they decide to add his face to Mt. Rushmore?

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Rushmore, ha. He gets his own mountain. Solid as Barack, hehe.

Seeing Jesse Jackson and Oprah cry like babies was awesome. I think they're jerks, but I realized this was incredible for them, and to see them humanized was amazing.

It's not minor. His value as a person and as a President are not affected by the color of his skin. But the fact that he was elected is NOT a minor commentary on the progress of our country.

I'm not glad a black man is President. I'm glad we are a country that is willing to elect a black man.
