I stayed up till all the polls were in and Obama was "officially" called by all the networks as the victor. Then I went down to my basement studio and without thinking (hence the simplicity) recorded this.

It's funny, because if you hear the snippets of Obama speeches that I used, you hear how much it felt like he was going to bring the country together. It certainly feels more divided than ever, doesn't it?

Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or de we participate in a politics of hope?

-Did he heed his own advice?
