It's a New Day

It's a new day.


There will be a new spirit and a new sense of purpose throughout this country (not just at KCP) this morning.


We have a billboard that posted on the Westside Highway this morning that says:


"A PRECEDENT WE CAN BE PROUD OF.
-KENNETH COLE
CONGRATULATIONS BARACK OBAMA."

great sentiment kenneth, love this line.

Thank you for this billboard, Kenneth! Very excited, and still dragging a bit after watching the election well into the night.

Inspiring words, Kenneth. I look forward to what this change will bring.

Well said! I think the US and the rest of the world would agree. Go Obama!

Amen.

I saw a bumper sticker on the way in today that said, "Smart is back. Obama 2008." I'm hopeful for this new era where we can be smart and proud again.

Thank you, Kenneth! Across the nation, Barack Obama is truly setting a precedent for change. Looking forward to the next four years.

Obama's background is a true American story -- where else would he be elected leader? -- and, at the same time, a wild departure from our previous Presidents. Cheers to precedent, indeed, and hail to the chief!

I really hope that Barack Obama can bring together our beautiful country so we work together for a better future. As Oprah said last night, "It feels like there's a shift in consciousness. It feels like something really big and bold has happened here, like nothing ever in our lifetimes did we expect this to happen."

One of my students in the journalism course I teach at Hunter College commented recently on how much she loves the KC billboards, and this is right up there with the rest of them.


They're always pithy, clever, and most of all, true. They capture the zeitgeist of our era, and reflect in such a simple, succinct way what so many of us are feeling.


So thank you, and keep them coming.

today's edition of the new york times picked up on the billboard:

If McCain won, it would have said, "Out with the old... In with the older?" Hilarious.

This billboard is brilliant! Great motivation for the years ahead.
