Yes. He can.

The newsroom was empty, save me.
Just me, about 140 desks, and a tiny TV.
But the presence on this particular crappy Samsung was enough to fill the room.
"Yes, we can."
Yes, he can. And he did.
Obama is now president. A world breathes a sigh of relief. Change is coming... and change for the better.
There is no underestimating the massive scale of the task that now is at hand for Barack, and whether he can accomplish it or not, we cannot say. But his platform was built on inspiring the people, and the people are the ones who are going to bring an end to this era of despair.
This represents a real return to the ideals of democracy. Voter turnout was 90 percent in some states. Compare that to the apathetic nation I live in, where not even 60 percent made it to the polls.
Obama moves people. He inspires hope in them. He inspires them to be better.
Change has begun.
