over

A stolen presidency, eight years of one outrage after another, a nightmare I thought I'd never see the end of. You? Does it seem possible we're rid of George W. Bush? And on a joyful note, the crowds in Washington are so inspiring. That people are so excited and hopeful about this change keeps me in tears.

George Bush gone, though the trauma lingers on. And my smart, competent, shiny new president, Barack Hussein Obama on the job. Miracles do happen. I am beyond ecstatic. This is magnificent.
