This goes a loooooong way toward healing persistent (but shrinking) wounds. My wife was brought to tears tonight, saying she could never have believed as a child that a black man could become president. This whole thing took her back to her childhood in the south... something I've come to appreciate better, but I really can't fully know.

Obama will help pull up the AA community, challenge them... some kick in the butt, healing.

Jackson, Sharpton, Wright... all step aside & let the new generation take things from here.
