I Have A Righteous View Of History Here, Folks
Edited on Thu Aug-28-08 10:37 PM by Hissyspit
I speak of the view through the glass of the press box of Mile-High Stadium as people are gathering around to view Obama's entrance.
And it has gone silent in here except for typing fingers. The sun has gone down and the lights are bright, and I have teared up.

Amazing.

Wish you were all here.

Barack Obama - Democratic Nominee for the Presidency of the United States.

Eyes on the prize, people.

Eyes on the prize.

With a special history.

I am not exaggerating. Enjoy.

6. Still waiting to see a WOMAN, though. . .
I am 53 years old, and now I am convinced that I will never see a woman President
in my lifetime.

Oh well. . .maybe my grandchildren or greatgrandchildren, in the year 2108 will see it happen.
It will not happen in this century.

7. It will likely happen in eight years
Can you hang around that long? I don't think Biden will want to be President in eight years and I think it will be HRCs turn at bat.

8. I disagree.....from another 52 yr. old woman.
I totally expected that the country would accept a white woman before a black or asian or hispanic of any gender. Just goes to show that you can't predict what will happen and that America's people will embrace collectively what it needs at the time.

10. We'll do it in 8 years
In 6 years, Biden can step aside and we can put the next President in as VP, Hillary or Sebelius. They they can walk right into the White House.
