History Is Made

Ladies and Gentlemen. The next president of the United States of America. Barack Obama.

History is made. For that, I am thankful. My concern, however, is how much it had to do with being the right candidate versus the right race.

I think having an African American president is wonderful. Truly. I also think that having a woman president would be great. I'm happy that America can see beyond the color of someone's skin and gender to determine their worth, their qualifications.

So here we are. A part of history. Will you remember where you were, what you were doing, and the feeling that accompanied this momentous occasion in history? I will. It's very similar to 9/11. I did not vote for our new president. I also have hope, I also seek change. I truly hope that the change that America is seeking brings unity, brings peace, brings hope, and brings change.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!
