BARACK OBAMA HAS BEEN DECLARED THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

BARACK OBAMA HAS BEEN DECLARED THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA .....HEARING THOSE WORDS COMING OVER MY TELEVISION ALTHOUGH I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN I BENT OVER HOLDING MY HEAD AND BURST INTO TEARS.
My stomach still has not settled, i don`t know if it's my lack of intestines or what, but the bathroom has been my friend since last night and my face looks like that of a woman who cried all night because her husband didn`t come home.......
Did u see how calm he was last night ? I understand he wanted no fireworks , it was a sobering moment not a 'la la' party time.
As i looked on , at the man with the weight of the WORLD on his shoulders, it dawned on me that young black men now have a role model, no longer do they have to aspire to be a DRUG DON or a RAPPER with their pants around their knees and their wealth hanging around their necks or in their mouths...They too can be President one day. I understand in Atlanta the young men who days ago were the hooligans terrorising people on the streets turned into model young men , pushing wheelchairs and holding places in line for old people...Proves to me they are the way they are because they don`t know any better.
U know Bill Maher once said on his show that he can`t find anything to joke about with Obama . He even sleeps with only his wife so he`s boring , not funny........
If all u can find to laugh about is his big ears it's not worth it...there are too many things that are so right. I swear even McCain is a fan if truth be told.
How many of us realize that people of my age have gone from seeing people of our colour hosed for being on the wrong side of the road, being lynched for being born in the wrong state, to seeing the first true African American (African father/American mother)becoming the Leader of the Free World.
I understand people in Atlanta were eating chili last night while they were watching as that's his favourite meal, or they think it is, as they see him eat it during the campaign. They don`t think maybe it's the easiest thing for a man who doesn`t eat junk food to eat while he is on the road..........I love it, they are going to be many more things they do to emulate him and it won`t hurt, it will only help.
Was Jessie Jackson`s tears last night due to thinking back on his ill timed words ? We know why Oprah was emotional , she was there at the start of the train ride in fact she identified the passenger of the train as a winner and put her money where her mouth was....To see it come to fruition must be almost too much to take...People from states like Mississippi must be unable to even wrap their heads around it.
The fun now starts.... the long uphill climb to bring back a country to its rightful standing in the world with people representing all the way.
My guess is that if u can run a campaign like that where no stone was left unturned, u must be able to harness the energies of the people WHO DID THAT FOR THEIR COUNTRY. Plus people - what a first lady Americans are going to have......Harvard educated ! Can`t go too wrong with that.
IT CAN WORK AND IT WILL!
