It is currently two days after Barack Obama has been elected president.  And all I can say is thank god for that.  I feel as if this is the second chance America has at a golden age, an age to unite and progress in the world.  And maybe gain the respect of the other countries in this world once more… 

My mom said that when she knew that Barack Obama won, she felt a huge sense of relief.  Her friend said she felt like dancing.  Having this illustrious man as our next president is something that has united all of America, through the elections and now, when we watch the world through hopeful eyes.  I was watching CNN on Election Day because I had no school and they showed live clips of a HUMONGOUS crowd of people on a field in Chicago, watching the CNN cameras to see who had won the election.  It is the first time in history this has happened.  And for good reason too!!!!!!  For the obvious reason that this is the first African-American president.  Barack Obama is a good first as well because of who he is.  I think he will change people’s perspectives of African-Americans around America.  I mean, how can he not?? He is the freaking PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!!! I wish him luck because he will have a hard job of it, because being president is naturally a difficult job (his hair is already turning a wee bit gray if you ask me and he isn’t even officially president yet) and because Barack Obama has so many expectations put upon his shoulders.  And I think that he will do a fabulous job of it!

PS  if you want to see a very moving part of Barack Obama’s speech, go to youtube and type in 106 year old Obama Supporter– it’s part of President Obama’s (i like writing that) speech so you may have seen it, but watch it again, you won’t be disappointed!!!
