Barack-star

I haven't said much about this--online or in person--and I don't have a profound reason for it. I'm so in awe that we as a people were forward-thinking enough, even if for one day and one day only, to know that this man is the right choice at the right time.

• When we need to re-establish our respectability and dominance with the world
• When it needs to be demonstrated that not all American leaders should be Protestant white men
• When voters acknowledge that diversity may be the best representation of this country
• When we are tired of nepotism and family dynamics leaving us flat broke and stepped on
• When we are sick of everything old

I am so proud to be an American right now, and for the first time since I've been voting for President, I have faith in my candidate, and faith in our people.

I also love that Michelle Obama is being compared to Jackie Kennedy. Now, I did not start off a fan of MO, but I am coming around. I do not think that she is a modern-day Jackie Kennedy. Part of Jackie's effect on the world was that she was almost ethereal. MO is gritty and real. I get the point of the comparison is what effect Michelle is going to have on the style and fashion of this generation, must like Jackie inspiring the world to wear those jackets with the big collars and the pillbox hat. No First Lady since then has exhibited inordinate fashion sense, but here comes Michelle Obama. Goodbye suits and pants. HELLO dresses, and even better, DRESSES WITH CARDIGANS. I can never buy enough of either. I'm so fashion forward.
