It's been a big year for us. This year, history was made... you've heard this already. Something amazing has happened. An amazing man has come into office.

Also this year, another first: Scientists have produced a blue rose capable of growing in the wild. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/japan/3329213/Worlds-first-blue-roses-after-20-years-of-research.html

"..Following the cultivation of test batches in the United States and America, the company will be ready to sell them from next year and aims to open up a global market for blue flowers worth an estimated 30 billion yen.

Having been cultivated for more than 5,000 years, as many as 25,000 different species of roses currently exist, although colours are traditionally limited to red, pink, yellow and white.

A blue rose has long been synonymous with the unattainable, from signifying unrequited love in Chinese folklore to its Victorian era connotations of symbolising a quest for the impossible." 

I don't know about anyone else out there, but I think that in light of this, I will associate the Blue Rose to Barack Obama, someone who beat the odds and touched a nation that was otherwise blinded in its apathy.  This year, the unattainable has been attained, the quest was conquered, and a new era was rushed in.
Democrats have the house... we will see the Change we have bled for.

Something beautiful was cultivated and grown...
