It began as a wildly improbable dream. A black man, born of a Kenyan father and a Kansas mother, raised in some far off country called Indonesia. We listened to the rhetoric when he told us...."there's not a liberal America and a Conservative America, there's the United States of America".
We danced to Stevie Wonder at the convention...it was "signed, sealed and delivered". We shouted out, "Yes WE Did" on that late November evening as the results came in.
And on a cold January day, we sat back and waited with anticipation for the change we knew was coming.
But as John Kenneth Galbraith once said, "Politics is not the art of the possible. It consists in choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable."
