Obama Speech

I have been so busy trying to catch up on the graphs for the results, I didn’t comment on the speech yet. But it was very powerful. It was Obama fully in post-partisan unifying mode. And as usual when he is in that mode, he pulled all the right strings. It was inspiring and made one feel proud.

Speech aside, the moment itself was exceptionally powerful. Even as I was furiously making graphs, I admit I shed a tear or two. The morning will see us begin to see what an Obama administration will actually look like. And it can not possibly life up to the expectations that have been built up. But for the moment, it was good to just absorb the moment and the historic impact of today.
