It looks like I’m on a first name basis with the Prez now, as this email I got tonight demonstrates:
Beth —
I’m about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first.
We just made history.
And I don’t want you to forget how we did it.
You made history every single day during this campaign — every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it’s time for change.
I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign.
We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I’ll be in touch soon about what comes next.
But I want to be very clear about one thing…
All of this happened because of you.
Thank you,
Barack

Okay, I’m probably not the only one who got a letter like this, but their mail merge worked properly and I got a charge out of it, so maybe THAT is all.
Apparently the world celebrates with us.

I am on a first name basis with the Prez, too. But it’s all good.

I know someone who was in the park in Chicago for the speech – she said it was a giant love-in, strangers hugging strangers.
Would have loved to be there.
