- was the title of a hilarious New York Times cartoon published a few days afterwards. The morning after certainly had an overpowering atmosphere. Manhattan was very quiet 'with hungover bliss'. There wasn't a newspaper left in the city by 9am when I prowled the streets to find one. Obama makes dreams come true and has single handedly rescued the printed newspaper industry. Everyone was very proud of themselves. Of one another. "Yes we did" rather than "Yes we can" was on lips all over the city. The odd phrase echos grammar quirks more akin to the Republicans. But who cares. Obama is an unabashed intellectual, and the majority of the country will be slightly 'worse for wear' in the best possible way, so if that's the buzz that stumbles onto our lips - so be it, and thank you young America that no one has to muster the strength to face a headline that screams "You betcha: gosh darnit".
