My President Barack Obama

I must express my excitement about living through this amazing historical moment. Oh how far we have progressed as a society once so segregated. Whites and blacks couldn’t attend the same schools, drink from the same water fountains, or eat at the same restaurants. I’m not writing to bash the Republicans or praise the Democrats. Obama’s’ presidency represents so much more than a certain party ruling office. It gives hope of peace and unity to a people still struggling with an old tradition of hate towards someone who doesn’t look like them or believe what they believe. These next years’s coming are going to be tough, and economically frightening. I believe they will test us all. Thanks to a skinny kid with a funny name and a vision of a better America, who taught us to believe in doing what’s right instead of a faltered tradition. I can proudly say, Yes We Can!
