Yes We Can

About 4 years ago, a skinny black guy with a funny name stood before the Democratic National Convention and said something that connected. Today, it's quite possible that that skinny black guy will become the next president of the United States. And whether he wins or loses, it's been quite a journey, for him and for us.

For those who will spend this Election Day checking the polls and blogs constantly, I offer some highlights of the last four years. When you're looking for a break from the political analysis, or you need a little inspiration, or a laugh, or a reminder of what the American dream is all about, check out a clip.
