A young black man

[nevergiveup]

pulled up behind me today at an intersection and started honking and waving. I have this small yet very visible Obama logo on the trunk of my car. He pulled up beside me and with this huge smile gave me the thumbs up sign. I honked, waved and gave him a return thumbs up. When he pulled away I realized I had tears in my eyes. I am a 63 yr old white guy and I do not believe I have ever been prouder of my country.
