This has definitely been a famous presidential election. For the first time in history—we have an African America President who is leading the country. This has got to be a major boost for the African American population. For so long now we have seen African Americans, Hispanics and other races portrayed as the servant, drug dealer/addict or lesser person than a White American. However, tonight that portrayal has been shattered for the moment and we see the stereotype crushed underfoot. Now is an ever changing era in which we can see that a man/women should be chosen based upon their character and not their size, color or ethnicity.

And for all those who elected for change through a black man, they have now elected that man to lead them to a new America.

There are also those who voted for a man that they believed in by the name of John McCain. However, now that Mr. McCain has been taken out of the equation Americans must hope for a President that will lead their country to a better place.

And then there are those who are still prejudice and would not elect a black man because of the color of his skin. They must now come to terms with their loss and move forward. Hopefully, we will all see Barack Obama for the man he was destined to become and not for the color of his skin.

Hopefully, there are those who elected Barack Obama because of his qualities as a morally sound man. May what those who have seen in him be true, because we are in a recession and one of Barack’s first tasks will be to lead our country to a new frontier.
Then the war in Iraq must be addressed in order to bring an end to the pain and suffering of those that have been adversely affected by this war. The continuous displacement of family members that are shipped overseas should be acknowledged and dealt with in order to bring peace to our American troops and their families.

In the end, the saying below has now taken root within Mr. Obama:

“With great power comes great responsibility.”
