The Day Is One!

We did it.

America finally started growing up tonight. We left our adolescence behind.

This is an historic result, obviously. More than 150 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, we've elected a black President. What African-Americans can feel right now, I can only try to imagine.

But calling this an African-American victory would be shortsighted. We all did this. We looked past race. We have bigger fish to fry. And tomorrow, we have to start frying them.

We need to leave the most divisive, vitriolic Presidential campaign in American history behind us. We need to unite, Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Independents, everyone, behind our President. We need to have faith in our system, we need that faith now more than ever.

The world will see us with new eyes now. We could have played it safe, we could have fallen prey to our fears. We took a risk. We took a leap, a leap of faith.

We are the change we'd been waiting for.
