It's a good good night.

not just barack obama but barack HUSSEIN obama.

subhan'allah walhamdulillah. not that i'm saying he's muslim but just that considering what it felt like for muslims leading up to the last election...it means something to me at least that the republicans weren't able to win with their hateful rhetoric about things as trivial and as meaningful as his name. and also in some ways i think a victory for immigrants and second generation americans - that not only an african-american man but that a man with a kenyan father is the president of the united states.
