Oh, what a night!
I spent election night at the Ok Democrats watch party at the Skirvin Hilton hotel in Oklahoma City. Thousands of Obama supporters packed into the Grand Ballroom, overflowing into the halls, the lobby and the Red Piano bar. People of all walks, skin colors, ages and ethnicities hugged each other, cried together and celebrated the election of Barak Obama, the United State’s first black president. It was an amazing place to be for probably the most historical evening of my life. I am thrilled for America, for African Americans, for the future and for the world. I pray for Obama and his beautiful family and for Joe Biden and his family. I also pray that Americans can put aside their differences in opinion and come together after what has been an incredibly divisive 21 months. We are all the same, it’s time we started acting as one rather than as enemies.

This is for my grand daughter Amber. I am so proud of your involvement in our political process. Politics is a rough game. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, and either one of those can be difficult. But you already understand the underlying principles of the democratic process and the American way of government, and you are on the correct side. There is a saying that we deserve the politicians that we elect. Well, that isn’t always true, but the ONLY way we can achieve and maintain the peace and freedom that are the envy of the world is by hanging in there, and going on fighting for the good of humanity, the planet, and all the creatures that share it with us. You stay strong in your beliefs. Your day is here. Grandma Donna
