I know the hyperbole with diminish quickly, but it’s impossible to deny we are living through an historic moment.
The collective sigh of relief around the world – and indeed within America itself – is undeniable. Though the financial crisis still has to run its worst, though there is a looming confrontation with Iran, and though conflict rages in far too many corners of the globe, the election of Barack Obama as the next President of the United States gives us hope that the future will be better, not worse.
This is a day to remember.
