Obama – President Elect!

So Obama is the President Elect. There were no gibberish over him having the popular vote, lets be honest he had just about all the vote here. The numbers were clear, 349 Obama to 163 McCain.

The stories on CNN have had people say it was not about Race. Yet they are thrilled it is the first African American President. People have said that they feel they have a voice. There were a lot of other statements made that made me scratch my head in pure concern.

I would have thought they always had a voice, perhaps it is how we choose to speak and about what that defines whether people listen to us or not. Perhaps by exercising the right to vote and actually voting you can have your voice heard?

It has been stated that American has taken a giant step forward with this election. I would have to agree, I think it is a step forward. I believe a giant step forward would be the election of a Native American President.  If anyone had a raw deal it would also include them.

Obama did not mention MLK last night, this was discussed by CNN. He did in his acceptance speech state that there was work ahead, he stated it needed to be done now. One brick at a time. So lets see where he goes. He was not my choice, I have no vote, nor would I have voted for him. However he is the President and I can only hope he is the right one for this country.
