1. Young children and those born after last night will never know of a time when the US Presidency did not include an African-American. I can't wait to see how this improves race relations by the time those generations grow up. Truly a bright future.
2. One thing we learned at the very same time an African-American was marking his victory is that there is still a lot of discrimination present in our country. At least three states, including CA, supported propositions to withdraw rights from gay couples--that is, rights to adopt or marry. This is certainly a future hurdle to overcome.
(And maybe a third: 3. That although Lancaster Country, NE voted for Obama they are still going to have a tough weekend dealing with their football team's loss!)

Obama lost NE-02 (Omaha and part of Sarpy County) by 539 votes.
Kansas should lose by about that many points on Saturday.
Damn, I thought he won that. That would have been sweet.
