Not Different Quite Yet

To take away from the monumental moments the world witnessed and experienced yesterday when we the people elected Barack Obama as America's 44th President is something I intend to not do. I am as happy about it as the next supporter and as cautious about it as any naysayer. Mr. Obama will, in essence, be batting in the 4th position and will hopefully have great success. Not only will he have the backing of the House and Senate but actual support from Americans. Something George Bush had lost years ago.



I must tip my cap to President Bush despite my strong opposition towards him and his politics. Never was a President before him attacked by a terrorist on American soil. Never before him did a natural disaster leave an entire coast in ruins, it's people in shambles. Never before him did we topple down a country's depression. A lot happened to him FAST and he just didn't see it coming. Maybe. Come January it'll be for the history books, and thanks to the land we live in, we will never see either Bush push a White House pencil ever again.

Finally, black parents can tell their children with honest intentions that yes, they can be anything. Even President?

Even President.
