American Views Abroad

From a friend, who lives mainly in Munich but is often back home in California, this note:

At the local Barnes and Noble Starbucks here in Torrance, I overheard two 80+ year old ladies talking about Barack Obama and his politics and how comforted they felt for our country when they saw him on TV with his broad, capturing smile and flash of white teeth. It touched me to hear these two snow-white haired ladies with different skin colors ---- one pale white and the other dark black ---- two good friends sharing their happiness about the outcome of the presidential election. How far we have come in the span of our life-time. It is truly hard to hold back the tears.
