A Change Has Come

Wow, this day has actually come. Barack H. Obama is now the President of the United States of America. I wish my grandfather was here to see this. As a black woman, a deeper sense of pride has come over me. I am happy that my nephews can see this moment. They are experiencing the first Black President of the United States of America. I listened to Obama's speech, what I loved about it is that he made no promises. He made it known that it was going to be a long road, and that change will not happen within a year or even eight years, but it will come. He also placed the responsibility upon the people. I truly love this. I am proud. I am speechless. I am happy.

Election Day

Well we all know that this election day is going to be an historic one. Then why do I feel some what afraid? Let me quantify...the polls so far say that Obama is in the lead. What happens if McCain wins. Will there be a big upset? What happens if Obama wins? Will there be a big upset? I just don't know. I do feel that Obama will and should win, but there could be something that goes wrong. I hope no fishy business goes on at the polls with the votes. I just want it to be honest and fair. Yet, I am still going to stay in my house until Wednesday. I just feel a little anxious.
