We Have Witnessed History

Six years ago we saw the beginning of what would be a historic campaign for President of the United States. For the first time in our nations history we elected our first minority President. We knew we were making history then, but in the last four years we have kind of forgotten about the impact the 2008 presidential election will have on our nation's history. We have forgotten that this journey we have taken with the President will be written about and taught in history classes 100 years from now. This election cycle has brought some of that magic back, but the impact this President and his supporters have had on our history was made infinitely clear last night during Pres. Obama's final campaign speech of his political career.

At the place where it all started, Iowa, the President gave his last campaign speech he will ever give as a candidate. For those of us who have followed him and supported him since day one, there was a sense of cyclical closure. Seeing the President at the place where the legitimacy of his candidacy was born was unexpectedly emotional. This is true not only for me, but for the President as well.

I encourage everyone to soak this evening in. Even if you don't support the President, this is still the closure of a truly historic political campaign and candidate. I personally truly hope I am allowed the amazing opportunity to call the former senator from my home state, Barack Obama, my president for another four years.
