Obama is my President! Welcome to a New America!

" YES WE DID!!! "

I am just overcome with emotion. I did not fully understand the power of this change, this movement, this struggle, this victory until Tuesday evening when I saw Obama's face and the caption above his name....Our New President Elect Barack Obama! I began to weep uncontrollably. I had hope and a feeling he would win. The confirmation revealed what it really means, to not just win, but to change and start over. To release the past and start a new day. I could intrinsically feel my ancestors rolling with joy. I could feel their pulse and the deepest and longest exhale. These were my emotions. This is what hit me on the evening of November 4, 2008. The things that I've seen thus far in my 31 years. Stories, memories, inspirations that I will pass to my future children and their future children. Like my grandmother told me when I was 11 years old, "Baby, I've seen so many things in my lifetime. So many changes that I'm here to share with you. And you too will see so many changes and will have many stories to share."

I am so overjoyed to know that new black babies will be born into a new world. A world where they see themselves as a Black leader...a Black face of America. A face that will give them hope and a natural ability to be powerful and succeed. They will know they are powerful, a respected human being, and not a cancer of the world. And new white babies will see the new face of America, a beautiful black representation, and they will be enlightened on a whole new level. These new babies will grow up free of judgement and discrimination....loving all races! No more fear and no more hate. This new face of America is our country. It's who we all are.

Barack Obama - Strengthening the Black Race and uniting Race, Religion, and Politics in America...in the World. In this lifetime!
