PRESIDENT ELECT OBAMA

Being a republican and rooting for John McCain I didn't really agree with Obama. But after the election and the Republican party lost and Barack Obama became the first African American president I thought that it was a good thing. Thinking about how much African Americans endured through out history and being able to vote and being old enough to witness the first black president of our time is pretty cool and like Barack mentioned opening up a new chapter in American history. I really hope he will follow through with his word and unite this country and create change for the better of the country. Reading the post about the lady who was not able to vote in her past becuase of the tests the whites established was very interesting becuase in her lifetime was able to see a black president and unlike many people of her age where already deceiced. Even though I am skeptical of Barack I really hope he will help out the American people command this country with pride.
