The new patriotism

I just heard on CNN, Spike Lee say that "President Obama could only happen on one country in the world....America". Who thought patriotism could ever be cool again?

The value of this event will not be measurable in GDP, or interest rates, or the DOW Jones Industrial Average. But I know, I know, it will be worth more than any number any economist or any pundit can muster.

Politics is history in the present tense. Thats what a CNNian just said. Thats why I'm still sitting up at 1 am mountain time after being up for almost 24 straight hours, typing on a keyboard to remember what it felt like.
