So today, while I was watching some of the coverage of Blago-gate, I got to thinking that just a little over 1 month ago Barack Obama became the first African American to be elected President of United States. I tell ya, with all this, to quote Rachel Maddow, "Guilt by Proximity" coverage of the "Hot" Rod governor of Illinois that the MSM has been doing lately, the SoS drama, the "angry left" that wasn't drama and whatever "problem for Obama" news of the day, I'll admit, I lost some of the glow from election night.
So...
while the conservative pundits, media, columnist, bloggers, and even the so called MSM continues to overblow the scandal du jour, I've found a way to keep my light shining...YOU TUBE. I went to you tube and searched for election night coverage, I was specifically looking for the network coverage from MSNBC where it had the Obama supporters singing along to "Signed Sealed Delivered" after Obama won.
Of course, I got caught up in other coverage of Obama's victory that people posted, which always seems to happen when you're searching youtube, and you know what, my light is back. Man, I truly believe that what we Americans, all Americans, did on November 4, 2008 was a wonderful thing, not just for us, but for the global community.
I know to some it may seem like I'm choosing to live in la la land, but at least for a few moments, I refuse to let the media, Repubs, strategist, etc take the joy of these moments from me. I mean think about it, right now, literally, the history of tomorrow is currently being written today, and I am damn well not gonna miss it, or spend most of my time fretting about the scadal du jour.
Likes the song goes: "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine! ... Won't let Satan whoosh it out, I'm gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine"
BTW, here is my favorite video so far: Busta Rhymes Reacts To Obama Win
Does anyone else have a favorite video from Election night?
