It's like a college exam trick question.
Question: Of the following who was not elected as President of the United States?
A. Bill Jefferson Clinton
B. George Walker Bush
C. David Michael Smith
D. Barack Hussein Obama
I would bet that 100 years from now, maybe 50 years from now, 99.999% of college students would pick D. Barack Hussein Obama.
The name might not fit the job title, President of the United States of America, but the fundementals of the man do. I'm as speachless as a rock at the botom of the ocean, only 30 minutes after the announcement scrolled across the bottom of my TV screen on CNN - "Barack Obama elected President."As out of reach as it seemed to me yesterday, the hope of a black man elected president, today I am holding it in my hand celebrating. I supported Hillary Clinton from day one of Bill Clinton's win over Bush in 1992. Rather than boycotting Obama when he beat Hillary in the primary election I dedicated my support to him, maybe for Hillary, but most importantly for the democratic party.
I see drastic improvement in America's future now that the Bush administration is done destroying America. I believe that Barack views all americans equally and will do the best that he can to improve our lives in this country as he improved his own from the day he decided to become a public servant over a six figure job at a law firm.
My message to all Americans: Go spend money in support of a better economy, a safer place to live and with the hope of more job security and availability for each and every American that Barack Obama now works for.
