Nov. 6th, 2008 12:39 amFrom Daily Kos: nationwide Dancing in the streets after Obama was declared the winner.
Getting the idea? There's more, but you already knew that.
It's a great day for Democrats and Republicans alike. For Democrats, Barack Obama was elected President. For Republicans, there was finally dancing in the streets and Americans greeted as liberators.
And almost as wonderful -- there were celebrations around the world. I think they missed us. Maybe we're finally back. PBS runs ads talking about Americans, who cheerfully re-invent themselves every few years, looking for hope and brighter futures. No one else does that, really -- it's one of the wonderful things we and we alone do.
Was the last time Americans cried in the streets with tears of joy Armistice Day?
I like that re-occurring history a lot better than "will there be a depression"?
