On Tuesday, November 04, 2008 at 8:00pm PST, I witnessed along with the many millions around the world what I never thought was possible. For the first time in the history of the United States of America we voted and elected Barack Obama, a Columbia and Harvard educated biracial senator from Illinois as our 44th President.
It is momentous for the generational change it heralds, the geographic realignment it reflects and the racial progress it both acknowledges and promises. Most of all, Mr. Obama's victory is momentous for the opportunity it presents to put the country on a new and better path.
From Kenya to Britain, Indonesia to Korea, many people see signs of hope. Myself, I hope to see lots of change over the next four years and I really look forward to it.
