Message from Obama

Before his Election Night speech last night, Barack sent out this message to suppporters:

"I'm about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first.We just made history.And I don't want you to forget how we did it.You made history every single day during this campaign -- every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it's time for change.I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign. We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I'll be in touch soon about what comes next.But I want to be very clear about one thing...All of this happened because of you.Thank you, Barack."

O mundo mudou. A história mudou.]

O porto era um lugar barulhento e concorrido, os jovens padeciam nas filas, prontos para as festas, para noites agitadas e não-sóbrias.Enquanto todos vestiam roupas mais urbanas, parecíamos deslocados, como se estivéssemos indo para algo mais solene.
Ele me olhava como se quisesse dizer: "por favor, deixe-me dizer o que quero"...
E eu sempre engolindo seco, com medo de ouvir, com medo de aceitar o que estava surgindo....
