On Tuesday, February 24, 2008 the Earth moved. The shaking began in America, specifically in Washington, District of Columbia. In the United States Capitol, the ground swelled. The seas parted. People who thought they would never come together, in a joint session Congressmen and women, concluded, perchance, it was time to unify, to work for a common cause. Indeed, throughout America, the quake of an address delivered by President Barack Obama reminded citizens that they could, and perhaps should, consider that America is powerful when the people are one.
