Take a Bow, America - By BOB HERBERT
Take a Bow, America

By BOB HERBERT
Published: November 8, 2008

The markets are battered and job losses are skyrocketing, but even in the midst of a national economic crisis, we should not lose sight of the profound significance of this week and what it tells us about the continuing promise of America.

Voters said no to incompetence and divisiveness and elbowed their way past the blight of racism that has been such a barrier to progress for so long. Barack Obama won the state of North Carolina, for crying out loud.

The nation deserves to take a bow. This is not the same place it used to be.

2. He was integral in trashing Gore in 2000 and last July was peddling the false "vandalism of the WH"
story about the Clintons.
