It was the day that was

We got to the Mall early in the morning. It was a bit cold, but the trick was to keep moving around to stay warm. However as the day progressed that got harder and harder; as the people poured in by the thousands. People came from everywhere. Oh, yes there were those from Maryland, and Virginia, and DC, itself, but there were those from Maine and Ohio, and Texas, and North Carolina, and probably every state in the union. And as the Mall kept filling up with happy, smiling faces, I found myself not only tearing up a bit, but openly crying. They said there were 2 million people there today, and I wish I could've hugged every one of them. We had been here so many times in the past 8 years to voice our displeasures, I wasn't sure there would ever be a day like today. If I live to be 100, I don't think I will ever forget anything about this day.

I will now be able to view the White House in a totally different light. It is not the home of the enemy anymore, but it is now friendly territory. I know this sounds harsh, but I find that this is how I feel at this point in my life. Perhaps some time in the future I will look at it differently. We shall see.

I know this isn't a long diary, and I'm not sure if it has been diaried already, but it is a very moving and emtional video. I didn't think it was something that belonged in a comment, because if that was done, it certainly wouldn't get the attention it deserves.

It is a video called Israelis for Obama, and in it's 3 minutes touches on a lot of the reasons why Israelis and the Jewish people support Obama. Please watch it, you won't be disappointed.
