It's official: BARACK OBAMA IS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. It's so crazy to think that a country which once fought a brutal civil war over slavery... a country that once thought Blacks were nothing more than property... that once did not teach African Americans how to read and write (perhaps out of fear, I don't know. Or perhaps that something quite like this--a Black man could be elected to the highest office of the United States, and could inspire many toward hope for the future)... a country that once hosed my ancestors for marching down the street to vote... To those who took beatings, lynchings and endured ridicule so that I could vote, And to those who could not live to see this day: OUR votes are in. America's votes are in.

I believe people have been waiting for a leader, some one to stand up and say "enough is enough" and that every person in America matters. Their vote matters. Their life matters. and Their hard work makes a difference. Obama's inspiring words of hope surpass colors of all kind. I am ecstatic to live in a country with people who are looking past differences and elevating what really matters at this time of economic crisis, war and confusion: UNITY. We are, after all the UNITED States of America. We need a country that can back the president, and a president willing to back America, ALL of America. That is why I believe Barak Obama deserves this office, and why he is now the president of the United States of America.
