The election of Barack Obama as President of the United States, a country equally as valued for it's symbolism as it's literal political and financial achievements, can not truiy be underscored enough. It's of a magnitude, for many reasons beyond the man himself, that equals or exceeds any movement of this past century. But though I am myself-along with a great majority of our planet-overwhelmed by it all, the thing that makes it all even more incredible, is the stoic reserve with which the man himself has accepted his historic rise and ultimate victory.

He doesn't view it as we do. Sure, he understands the impact his aacendence has had. But this was not his ultimate destination. It is simply (albeit spectacularly so) a necessary vehicle to our national, and perhaps international transformation. Or so I hope.

Ok then. Back into the studio Mr. DiLego.

Our Great Collective

Here's the deal. And it's pretty simple.

At the very least and core of what took place on tuesday night, is the basic fact that I retrieved some sense, however slight and buried deep down, yes some sense of a faith in our country and in people to make a reasoned choice to look forward and think of making things better.

I am not saying anything that probably most of you already feel. If there were words on the tip of my lips that I felt were more profound and poetic, then I would wax on here about our great collective moment we experienced. But I quite simply do not possess that ability to transcend what already was a magnificent moment. So I will pacify myself with the images that remain ingrained in my head and the people with whom I shared our collective historic moment.

And I hope you shared that too.

Words sometimes are just not enough.
