Mr. Obama’s Victory

On the night of the election, we sat in Diana’s living room watching history unfold before our very eyes. We had written thousands of post cards to voters in Ohio and Nevada telling each one in our own words why a vote for Obama was the right one.  As the results of one state after another came in we waited with anticipation and apprehension. When the networks declared Ohio for Obama we jumped to our feet, hooped and hollered, waved our arms and danced around one another.
