Back to Reality...

Well folks the election is over with and I have to say that I am excited about the results. America did, what most would have said the unthinkable and elected Senator Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States. Many are happy and many are upset. For those who are upset I say to you I know your pain. Four years ago I remember being devastated that President Bush was reelected. I couldn't understand how America would vote for someone who I considered a horrible President. I didn't understand it and probably never will but you will get over it. Pretty soon you all will be looking forward to 2012 and trying to get rid of President-Elect Obama.

Now to all my African-America people this is especially but not limited to you.

The African-American race has had a shaky road in America. We were brought over here on slave ships and forced to go work out in fields. We weren’t treated as human beings and faced all kinds of racism, hatred, and prejudice. Slowly America has tried to correct this wrong. From the Emancipation Proclamation to the Civil Rights Act of 1965, America has long worked to overcome the divisive race relations that were created during our early foundation. Another step in this long journey happened on November 4th, 2008. Sen. Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States of America. Obama was born to a white woman and Kenyan man. Since his introduction to America in August 2004 at the Democratic National Convention he has captivated millions and millions of people. After hearing him speak there I knew that he had the potential to be a phenomenal leader. Not only were Democrats infatuated with him, Republicans and Independents began to realize that this guy was something special. He defeated three of best politicians of our times, The Clintons and Sen. John McCain.

After all the dust settles from his historic election I ask all of you. Whether Democrat, Republican, or Independent to give him a chance to prove himself to you. America is tired of the divisive nature of politics. We want our government officials to get something done instead of fighting and bickering over everything under the sun. I know President-elect Obama has stated that if we just took the time to listen to each other we would see that we have a lot more in common than we think. It’s not about being White, Black, Hispanic, or Asian. We all are Americans and its time that we all come together under the new direction of President-elect Obama. After September 11th this nation came together for the sake of our country and its time we all do this again. To all of you who have your doubts about our next President I urge you to keep an open mind. And like President John Kennedy said, “The only thing to fear is fear itself!”

I am America’s Nightmare…
