Barack Obama

November 5, 2008

It’s Official! Barack Obama, senator from Illinois has made history! President Obama has beaten out John McCain from Arizona to become the 44th president of the United States! History has been made and I am so blessed that we had a part in this. This election was special  in my family. My grandmother is 83 years old. She has always told me that this election is important to her and to us! My Grandmother, was one part of a generation that fought for the right to vote. Ever since the goverment gave her the opprtunity, she has never missed an election since! The last thing I remember her saying to me before I went to cast my ballot was this

I never thought I would see the day that an African American would lead this nation.

President-Elect Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden

President-Elect Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden

It’s true. She cried while I was talking to her when they offically named him the president-elect. I am so happy for her and the entire African-American community, I am so glad that they went out and voted for a person they thought was worthy to be called the president of America.

John McCain fought a well fought campaign and he was a great contender. Maybe 2012, McCain….

Anyways, January 20th 2009 everyone watch the television. History will be made again!!

 

Congrats Barack Obama

ELECTION DAY!

November 4, 2008

It’s election day! You know what that means….In a few hours we as a nation will have made history. We will either have a African-American as president, a female vice president, or a seventy-two year old man. This is history people. we have to make it worth it. My neighbor forgot to mail her absentiee ballot in and she is still talking about who she voted for…Shut it, if you didn’t vote don’t complain about the winner, you had your chance and you lost it. I voted and it feels pretty good to have done it. My obligation is done for the day and I hope that my choice was well worth it. The choice is ours chose wisely:

John McCain (Republican from Arizonia)
