Third reaction

Amid all of the historical symbolism produced by yesterday's election, one thing that really strikes me is this picture of our new First Family.
Of course there's the new President and all of his multiracial goodness, but then you have his wife, Michelle, a smart, accomplished and sophisticated black woman who seems like the most perfect, essential and fitting role model and First Lady for this age.
Would I vote for her in 16 years? Yes. Although, she says her priority is to be "mom-in-chief," not write policy.
Then there are the little girls, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7. It's enough to shed my liberal tears to think that these beautiful black children will be living in the White House 45 years after four little girls just like them were killed in a Sunday morning church bombing.
