Jennifer and I joined a sea of people in downtown Chicago to anticipate Obama's victory speech on November 2. It was an amazing, historic moment--the streets around Grant Park were teeming with thousands of people of every age and culture, dancing, shouting, crying, laughing---the city was electric; alive with pride and amazement. We stood shoulder to shoulder, watching the giant screens, watching people literally climb to the tops of trees hoping to catch a glimpse, strangers hugging strangers, everyone awash with love and awe as this great man took the stage and made his acceptance speech. Thousands of jubilant voices hushed as he began to speak. It was a Chicago moment; it was an American moment...the city was on a high like never before. Know that THIS WILL BE A GREAT TIME FOR OUR COUNTRY!!!!!!!!
