I’m not sure my story has a direct connection to Obama being elected. However, all election day I kept thinking about that night in the snow.

I thought it was a very cool story but I’m not sure what Obama was related to it? Was it Obama who dug your car out? I guess I’m not seeing how a black man who dug your car out of the snow is related to Obama? Maybe I missed the point?

nice story about the kindness in people – but how is it relevant to Obama?

thanks for sharing your lovely story, it just feels so good that poeple are out there willing to help each other. life ain’t easy but these tiny moments full of love, respect and help make life so special. also living in germany i was watching CNN as long as i was able to keep my eyes open and as soon as it became apparent who’s gonna be the next president of the united states i fell asleep and my dreams have been full of hope that things will get better. keep the hope alive.

That’s a beautiful story Oliver. There are so many untold stories like these. Small moments that come to mean so much. We are out there… in a market, at an airport, on the side of the road, we are alone, weary, beaten up, anxious, sometimes even afraid, maybe so far from home, or just completely out of our element, or just down the street and running to make a meeting… and then out of no where in spite of all of the division and sometime in the absence of hope, someone manages to reach within and reach out and make that connection and we remember that we are not alone, we are in this together. Lovely. Thank you for sharing.

[...] Today in Berlin I woke up very early in the morning and opened my laptop. I typed "NYTimes.com" and saw this headline. I wrote a story about how I feel about this on my other blog "Wire to the Ear" if you want check it out here: http://www.wiretotheear.com/2008/11/05/welcome-president-obama/ [...]

That’s a great day for the world.
I hope that can be the beginning of a new era and some leaders in Europe can be inspired by that.

There are 8 million stories in the naked city and this one is really good.

Finally after a year and half of living in Berlin , I can feel proud to tell people here I’m an American!
