It's official: BARACK OBAMA IS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. It's so crazy to think that a country which once fought a brutal civil war over slavery...
a country that once thought Blacks were nothing more than property...
that once did not teach African Americans how to read and write (perhaps out of fear, I don't know. Or perhaps that something quite like this--a Black man could be elected to the highest office of the United States, and could inspire many toward hope for the future)...
a country that once hosed my ancestors for marching down the street to vote...
To those who took beatings, lynchings
and endured ridicule so that I could vote,
And to those who could not live to see this day:
OUR votes are in.
America's votes are in.
----------------------------------------------------------------
I believe people have been waiting for a leader, some one to stand up and say "enough is enough" and that every person in America matters. Their vote matters. Their life matters. and Their hard work makes a difference.
Obama's inspiring words of hope surpass colors of all kind.
I am ecstatic to live in a country with people who are looking past differences and elevating what really matters at this time of economic crisis, war and confusion: UNITY.
We are, after all the UNITED States of America.
We need a country that can back the president, and a president willing to back America, ALL of America.
That is why I believe Barak Obama deserves this office, and why he is now the president of the United States of America.
