President-Elect Barack Obama
“I’ve always believed that America offers opportunities to all who have the industry and will to seize it. Senator Obama believes that too, but we both recognize that we have come a long way from the injustices that once stained our nations reputation and denied some Americans the full blessings of citizenship. A century ago, President Theodore Roosevelt’s invitation of Booker T. Washington to dine at the White House was taken as an outrage in many quarters. America today is a world away from the cruel bigotry of that time. There is no better evidence of this than the election of an African-American to the presidency of the United States.”
Tomorrow I go back to being a Republican.
Today I’m simply proud to be an American.
May God bless our new President.

Wow, strong words, and what an admirable way of thinking!
