I'm about as white a guy as you can find south of North Dakota, and I cried, and I don't have an Obama sign on my lawn. (For that matter, I'm pretty sure you don't have one either, Mike...) No matter what you think of the man who is now known as President-Elect Obama, or how he will govern, the achievement is enormously historic, and makes me feel very proud to be an American tonight. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World News Now Discussion List" group.
