i missed it last night

The "acceptance speech" that is. I was told by my mother that I should try and listen to it. So, eating my fall soup for lunch over some rice, I cranked up the full screen version of the youtube thing.

And I listened.

And I watched.

And I was moved.

I am encouraged by little things, like when speaks about his wife, and children. Those are the words of an honest open caring family man.

I am hopeful. I am encouraged. If someone can effect change in this nation, in this world. I think it just might be Obama. I watched this one first. That was a fantastic speech.

Although this one, this one... yes we can. Yes we did. Thank you America. Our party system may be flawed. But if you look at the diversity of ideas and ideals w/in each party, our country's politicians cover a huge range. Umbrellaed under one label, diverse within it. And yes, now it is truly time to move on.

If you missed it last night. Find seventeen minutes and watch it.
