Although California's voters are currently scaring me with their seeming outcome on all the state propositions, there is no denying that tonight is an amazing night. Clustered around the television in my friend Chris' apartment in Brooklyn (listening to people partying in the streets below), the left image certainly brought a tear to my eye but the right image is what really got to me. Whatever Jesse Jackson's faults may be, to see a man present at the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. react to our first African American president is beyond words.
We will see what the next four years will bring but in the meantime let's toast to the REAL United States who voted in record numbers and made their voices truly be heard.
