Hi gilly
Yes, I, too caught every word. I popped into my parents' on my way (finally) to work, and we ALL caught every word. We were mesmerized at the sense of occasion and absolute pride to know such things can and DO happen.
And "YES WE CAN" do anything we set our minds to do. The point has been proven today, beyond any shadow of a doubt!
princess49503: don't discount my excitement!!!! I'm dancing in the street with my neighbors!!!!! ( and sharing glasses of wine) )!!
And you have much to be excited about.
How refreshing that your new President embraced and included the broader global community in his acceptance speech. At last a U.S. President who can lead by example.
May those who could most benefit, hear his message.
