Yes We Can just became Yes We Did.
From my advantage point in the tree house the night sky soars and roars with exhilaration.
To have confirmation of this joyful event you have stand at the crossroads of the world and bathe in a neon glow of America’s magnetic Square. The kaleidoscope colors of race, the cacophony of foreign tongues and the beat of the street all collectively welcome the dawn of a new leader and a new era.
To the north Harlem explodes with redemption while Times Square tells America and the world you have made the right choice.
Back at the tree house and relative calm (I swear I heard the Central Park night life let out an agreeable sigh of relief) with a celebratory Gin and Tonic close by, I sat and watched the victory speech.
I say victory speech because in general they tend to be groinpumpingassbumpingchinthrusting sing-alonggloatfests.
Not the case with the 44th President elect.
Here is a young man who calmly walked to the podium and delivered a sobering account of an outsider overcoming immense odds to realize anything in America is still possible. He also warned that while a historic moment many hurdles still lay ahead.
Due to this affirmation maybe now there might be a resurrection of American optimism radiating across the land, a fundamental characteristic that is been missing in the last eight years, A re charging of the American benevolence and inclusive partnership that this country once held.
There are tough times ahead but also exciting times ahead.
I feel we have a good person at the helm, a person who has the eloquent delivery of Martin Luther King, the intellect of Bill Clinton, the compassion of Jimmy Carter, the looks of JFK and a strong family to keep him young.

The message of change has been heard and history has been made.
