I never meant to imply that this is the end of anything. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, this is only the beginning. That's why I think it's so amazing that Obama has already spoken about sacrifice. :) @lilalia – Oh dear. I never meant to imply that this is the end of anything.

We all have to keep on going. We've just started. The fact that there was such universal rejoicing about Mr. Obamas' being elected, just shows us that we each have to activate our hearts and minds to create the change we so long for.
