Oklahoma was going to go Republican; but it was important to me to cast
my vote today for Barak Obama, because I want to be able to say to my
grandchildren that I was there when America elected its next great
President, redefined itself to the world, and that I had the privilege
of casting my vote for him."
She understands, as do I, that this is a
man--now our President-elect--who has a vision for America in the
tradition of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, JFK, and LBJ--a man who doesn't
want just to be our President but who wants to take us in a new direction away
from the old cynicism of government into a future of hope and
optimism. He wants to be remembered as a President who made a
difference for America, and I think he will be.
I hope all of you listened to his
acceptance speech, irregardless of how you voted; and that you caught
the flavor of his remarks. He was speaking without notes or a
teleprompter, straight from the heart, as he articulated his hopes for
all of America.
As I predicted all along, it was a
landslide win, because I knew that those who had really studied the
issues and had truly got to know this man as well as what he really
wanted for our country--which was to take us in a new direction away
from the old policies that have failed-- could not help but see what a
superior candidate he was to McCain, who had absolutely nothing new to
bring to the table.
As he said, It won't be easy; we will make some false starts, but, "We will get there!Â
God bless America and God bless our new President.
