Yes We Can

And we did. Obama is now president! I'm over the fucking moon. Last night when it was announced you could hear shouts and hollers all around. I've never felt so proud of my country.
This is so huge. I wonder if this is similar to how people felt when JFK won the election.
No Obama isn't going to be able to fix all this mess, at least not anytime soon. But he will improve things and lay down the frame work for the future. I'm so happy to because maybe this will help race relations in our country and the way the world sees us. My children won't think about race or things like that. They will see a Black president and they will know that anybody, no matter what, can achieve their dreams and goals. Obama, I am so proud of you.
