Still Processing the Obama Victory

I haven’t written about Obama’s win (other than yesterday’s Benigni snark) because I’m honestly still trying to process the results.

George W. Bush was selected as President when I was in my first term of my freshman year of college. My entire professional life, both in the political and advocacy worlds, has been with Bush as President. Hell, I was 9 when Bill Clinton was elected to his first term. Things have changed in a big way and I’m just not ready to say what I think it all means.

The one thought that I can’t get out of my head, nor fail to smile when I think about it is this: We elected Barack Hussein Obama President of the United States of America.

I’ll circle back when I have finished processing this development.
