President-Elect Obama,

President-Elect Obama,

That was as fine a speech as I've heard from anybody.

In a generation that has grown up with more and more

Politial cynicism,

I thank you for restoring my hope in politics,

In America,

And in the world re-uniting,

For a cause much greater,

Than war,

And in destroying each other.

Quite simply,

That is the cause of living and working together,

More harmoniously,

More peacefully,

Despite all our

Individual,

Cultural,

Religious,

Racial,

Sexual,

Political,

Economic,

and International

Differences.
