The excitement still has not faded here in Japan after the election on Wednesday. I watched the returns with fellow democrats at a restaurant in Roppongi. Two friends, neither US citizens, met me there to participate in the celebration. They were thrilled to be able to see American democracy in action and asked question after question about the process (luckily, I was able to answer all of them). The interest in this election was truly worldwide - and I am being congratulated by people from every part of it.
I am back to being proud to be American, instead of apologetic. We did it. We chose hope over fear; integrity over deceit; respect over contempt. Yes, we did.
Yes.
WE.
DID!!!!!!!!
