Barack Obama is our 44th President
Barack Obama has just been elected the 44th President of the United States of America. Barack Obama, the biracial liberal with the funny name, has done what everyone thought he couldn’t do, and has become the first African American president in our history.
As a biracial woman, I can’t believe this day has finally come. From the moment President-elect Obama began his campaign, he let nothing get in his way. He refused to listen to the doubters, the critics, the cynics, and – let’s call a spade a spade – the racists. He has forced those who doubted to accept him, whether they were ready or not.
His soaring rhetoric, his passion, his tenacity, his courage – that is why I believe in Barack Obama. That is why I am proud to call him my President-Elect.
I used to think being President was just a lie they told you in school. For the first time in my life, I am proud to be an American.

I feel VERY happy to have him as President. I was nearly in tears. I hope he does more than gives us words though. I am glad that he made it this far and will be sworn in January of 2009. Alot of white supremisists are threating his life and two TRULY intended to murder him and 100 “black” children, and had plans of how to do it and the weapons. I feel awful and I pray for him and his family.
