Yes We Can, Yes WE DID!

WOW!!! Words cannot express the emotion that came over me when CNN pronounced that Barack Obama was the president elected for the next 4 years!!!!! I was happy,  I was surprised, I was uplifted, I was encouraged, I was glad, I was crying, I was smiling….I felt like a kid in a candle store. Gazing at the television like it was a lollipop----I watched at the Republican hopeful John McCain announced that he was not going to when and that he congratulated Obama. I waited and waited for Obama to come speak and to look into the audience of all those thousand and thousands of people that have the same hope and want for change as I do – it was amazing. Obama came to speak and there is something about him…something about the way that this man speaks that makes you want to listen. It doesn’t sound like a bunch of crap It is believable and I feel that he is truly for the people. I am SO EXCITED that we have our FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT!

 

Growing up throughout grade school I would have NEVER imagined that there would ever be or that I would LIVE to see it happen. I have – we have….we have all seen this happen on Nov. 4^th 2008. Come January 2009 we will have a new commander and chief. I do not put all my faith in man – I put faith in God that he will give us (men and women) the strength to deal with and overcome this changing times. GOD IS SO GOOD! Words cannot begin to express the way I feel. I have hope and know that all things are possible for my boys. They can do anything they want to … if they want to be a astronaut – THEY CAN. If they want to be president….THEY CAN!! Barack has set the record and I know and hope that he does us proud.

 

MICHELLE – beautiful, black woman – she is a supportive wife and mother and now our new first lady. I totally forgot about that title she will hold because I was so busy celebrating Barack. She looks like me – black skin, black hair…. This is like a dream. Someone pinch me – because this is too good to be true. We will see what the next 4 years will hold for us now that there is a democratic presidency.

 

Virginia has truly represented! We help put Barack on the map and for that he is truly thankful. For those that where Mccain supporters…. Barack will be your president also. Please respect the man. You don’t have to like it but you need to know that he is here to stay for at least the next 4 years and I pray for 2 terms.

 

God bless you and god bless America!!!!!!!!!!!
