YES!

Today, tonight, right now at this moment....

I'm proud to be an American.

And you know? My ancestor, the one who fought in the Revolution, would probably be appalled at what happened tonight. Women running for office? A Black man being voted into the highest office in the land? His female descendant, the lesbian married to a Black woman, voting?

Jehu would have been shocked and probably bewildered.

And that? That's part of why I'm proud.

Because we can change and we can become better and we can continue to perfect this union.

Yes.

Yes We Can!
