Watching Obama walk solemnly down the stairs of the white house, enveloped in shadow, I was overcome--I'm not sure with what. Excitement? Gratitude? Hope? I don't know if I can put my finger on it, exactly, but I welled up with happiness at that moment.

The civility shown between he and Bush during the inaguration gives me hope that maybe we can quell all of our cynicism for a while. I know that I finally feel passionate about America.
