You’re welcome. I think it’s so lovely. Rabbi Laurie Hahn Tapper posted it as her facebook status, after hearing it on the radio. To give credit where it’s due… My only suggestion: “Obama is running” rather than “ran”. And I mean that in the “working hard” sense, not in the “is trying to get elected” sense!

I like it the way it is… ran connotes the election is over, he won, and we’re looking back 20 years from now on a great period of prosperity and peace!
