I stand to refute with a spirit of joy this morning one of my friends on the other side who called this day a ``black day.'' I wonder what that interpretation means, but I see a sense of great future for America. And I wonder how many of the 3- and 4-year-olds in the future will wind up in the Office of the President of the United States because we in America and we as Democrats gave them an early head start. If any of my colleagues have ever visited childcare and pre-K and seen the brightness of our children, they know that what Democrats are doing today creates not a blackness but a brightness. Today is going to be a bright day in America as Democrats govern and lead and make a difference in this Nation and in this world. I am glad to stand with the American people and families as we create for them a very bright day. ____________________
