It sank in late last night just as the numbers were veering towards palpable certainty, an hour or so before Senator McCain’s concession speech. ‘This is huge,’ I thought very late in the game, after the long campaign I had kept a certain distance from, even as a news watcher. Change has indeed come to America and to the world. ‘A giant leap for mankind’ comes to mind just as The Sun’s headline reads. The distinct feeling of history being made, witnessed and shared. This was a historic election indeed, as the outcome itself (rather than the rolling of sleeves that follows any change in leadership) has brought about a renewal of hope. If the world and its people have evolved enough to appoint Barack Obama leader of the free world, we just might have great things in store.
Good Luck, Mr. President.
