It's lunch time in the late 60's, The table is set..my parents come home..we sit down...the radio is on...we hear the comforting, familiar voice say:

"Hello Americans, I'm Paul Harvey.....Stand by for News"!

I grew up listening to you. The silence of your voice will leave a hole in my heart. Now you can truly be with a special Angel! Farewell Mr. Harvey.

(Excerpts From Our New President's Acceptance Speech)
11-04-2008

It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled -- Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America.

Let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other.

To all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright --tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.

This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time -- to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth -- that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:

Yes We Can!

God Be With You Mr.President
