Watched the "We Are One" Concert this evening...
Some of the best musicians and actors gathered together on the Lincoln Memorial to celebrate the Obama Inauguration. I don't think you could buy a ticket to a concert with Springsteen, U2, Stevie Wonder, John Mellencamp and Garth Brooks....it was just amazing
Here are some pictures from this amazing day..
I heard about a website gallery of photographs
taken of Obama on the campaign trail over the past year.
Photographer Callie Shell does an amazing
job of capturing the Senator on his bid for the Presidency.
The below photo is a touching moment
between Obama and a grieving mother
who supported his candidacy.
"A Mother's Grief: This woman had lost her son in Iraq.
She wanted people to know that it was not unpatriotic
to be against the war and for Obama. Cedar Rapids, Iowa, 2/11/2007."

Happiness,
not in another place
but this place...
not for another hour,
but this hour.

From the New York Times, I found this interesting map on the US voting shifts towards the major political parties. It is pretty amazing to see the number of counties that are shifting more democratic, which correlates with Obama big numbers with the Electoral college & the Popular vote.
and while the path may be difficult to traverse, we have our faith in Obama & each other..
Yes We Can!

Excerpt from "Obama Wins: Why All Americans Have a Reason to Celebrate"
Posted November 4, 2008 | 10:23 PM (EST)
...over the course of this long and arduous campaign, Obama has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to inspire us to tap into the better angels of our nature -- to stir the American people to expect more of themselves than they otherwise would.
It's a theme Michelle Obama touched on many times on the campaign trail. "Barack Obama will require that you work," she said at a rally on the eve of Super Tuesday. "He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism; that you put down your divisions; that you come out of your isolation; that you move out of your comfort zones; that you push yourself to be better; and that you engage."
This call echoed something that historian and presidential biographer David McCullough had once said about JFK. "The great thing about Kennedy," he told me, "is that he didn't say I'm going to make it easier for you. He said it's going to be harder. And he wasn't pandering to the less noble side of human nature. He was calling on us to give our best."
And when Bobby Kennedy was agonizing over whether or not to run in 1968, he told one of his advisors: "People are selfish. But they can also be compassionate and generous, and they care about the country. But not when they feel threatened. That's why this is such a crucial time. We can go in either direction. But if we don't make a choice soon, it will be too late to turn things around. I think people are willing to make the right choice. But they need leadership. They're hungry for leadership." Forty years later, we are starving for it. Real leadership. Leadership geared to transforming the country.
Tonight is a night to celebrate the victory of a candidate who seized his moment in history and reminded America of its youth and the optimism it longs to recapture. Let's savor it.
Thanks to everyone
