Wow. Obama.
Americans have elected the first black president.
It's amazing.
Whether you like the man or not, whether you're excited for the change he wants to bring about, or you're building up your bomb shelter already....we're living through some amazing history.
Obama winning the election shows that, despite what a lot of people truly believe in their heart of hearts, race is NOT as big of an issue as it was even twenty, thirty years ago.
I am truly shocked that the electoral votes produced the landslide victory we saw.
There are still racist, powerful, rich people in the country. People who tried their best to make a fool out of Obama, or to foil his plans. People who will, for the next four or eight years, continually slander this man. We saw it with Bush, despite all his supporters. He was made into a laughing stock. They will attempt to do the same with Obama, attempting to chastise every decision he makes that they do not agree with.
Sadly, there are a lot of these people who are ignorant, and own guns, which they are not afraid to use. This is frightening, but I believe that our generation does NOT need, nor want, another tragedy. Nobody in America needs that now. I know that there are probably a lot of people who would love him off the planet, but not only is it horrible, it would also instill fear and lost hope in the populus. This is not something the country, or the world as a whole, needs. I only hope that Obama receives the best, most intense protection that could ever be provided.
When you make a significant change in the way something is done for a long time, you always receive criticism. You're told you're doing it wrong, that the old way is best.
Obama, keep your head high, and continue to believe in yourself, and in your visions.
Yes he can, but he's going to need the help of the masses.
Don't let this be a repeat of the last eight years. Let's actually support our president, and not sit by with our hands folded as he's ridiculed and bashed and made to look like a young idiot. He's not. And if, by some wild chance, he is....then he'll grow up. Real fast.
Love him or hate him, he's here for the next four years. Be excited, or pray for 2012...either way, give him a hand for all the work he's done to come so far.
