Last night was a truly historic night in our country’s history. With this election we were going to have a historic outcome no matter who won. We were either going to have a woman in the White House or an African American in the White House for the first time. In the end, Barack Obama won, giving us our first African American in the White House. Obama is an amazing orator and his skills came through loud and clear with his acceptance speech. Stressing the change and the spirit of “Yes we can” if his speech did move you and give you hope you are as hard headed as they come and don’t believe in democracy, but rather yourself. Obama has an unbelievably hard job in front of him. The White House he is inheriting is in great turmoil and the country he now has to lead is so divided that to get the USA back on track seems impossible. But with his inspiration and spirit I believe that Obama can break down the ugly barriers both literal and figurative that plague this country and once again make us the UNITED States of America instead of the Divided States of American that we have been the last couple of years. Will it be hard, yes? Are we entitled to different views, yes? Can we work together even though we have these different views, yes? Can WE ALL do it TOGETHER for the betterment of future generations, yes we can.
