Well unless you were sitting in a cave or hiding under a rock yesterday you would know that we have the first black president of the United States……. Barack Obama. This is something that many thought would never happen in their lifetime including myself because of the hate that this country stems on at times, but boy was I wrong. The most exciting thing about it, is that I had a hand in it. I was able to cast a vote and actually have it heard. Now most would say…. “oh your only voting for him because he’s black” No I voted for Gore (00′) and Kerry (04′) when they ran too and both times the election was stolen from them, but that’s another issues, but I voted because of the issues and the change that we oh so need right now. I’m just proud that a day of this caliber has come to our nation, and that is wasn’t about color mostly, but about issues of the people. Everyone who wants to parade around and say well all of the blacks voted for him that’s why he won….WELL black people only make up about 14-15% of the population in the United States so he had more than just the black vote. And the margin of victory proved that….. now that was a statement within itself.
Positive or negative we’ve been apart of history our whole lives, we even make our own history everyday. Some things people see/hear about and others you never will. In regards to President Elect Obama whether you love him hate him, history was made and we were all apart of it and able to see/hear it.
