For the first time in my adult life

I am proud of my country (and Indiana, my cousin to the east!). The tears I cried last night were the tears of hope and full of pride knowing that my country can do something great.

Thank you Obama for being the symbol we can all rally around. Thank you for giving me hope that anyone can become president. Thank you for inspiring the nation and thank you for believing that we could achieve something great.

Thank you my fellow voters for believing that we could make a difference. We have seen we can. Let's put it to good use.
