From TPM Reader MAB …
To me this inauguration means we have a chance to return to the country I grew up in and lived in until 3 assassinations and one terrible war left me feeling like part of me had been killed as well. I have never waited so desperately to vote for the candidate of my choice, never so dreaded the awful wait for him to assume office, never so joyfully anticipated every iota of an inauguration – in my whole life. Every time I consider the arc of this man’s life, I get choked up and I’m torn between kneeling in gratitude and shouting hopeful words from my roof. My heart is full of all these emotions.
