American history was made last night at 8pm, when the results were in and Barack H. Obama was pronounced as the 44rd President of the United States. I was beyond words, i didn't know what to do with myself and being that i was in starbucks with my friend Reshad, i couldn't get up and scream. The first black president of the United States was elected and i was alive to see it happen. I went to a campaign party for Obama held by a non profit organization called the Bus Riders Union, when i arrived the place was full of colorful faces, a variety of ethnic groups were there watching Obama's victory speech, some crying, some with huge smiles on their faces, and others listening attentively. Everyone knew that history had just been made and that we were very lucky to be able to have witnessed it. I couldn't contain my joy and i rejoiced in solidarity, in one voice with my fellow brothers and sisters for we all knew that change was coming to Washington. I must say that at first i did not like Barack, in fact compared to Hilary i thought he didn't add up, this soon changed when Obama and McCain were the choices i was left with. I did my research and Obama's plans were better for me, and also, i could not allow two more Idiots running the white house for 4 more years. Todays frustration was trying to get a newspaper that proves that last nights event actually happened and that i wasn't dreaming. I could not find one ANYWHERE! it was beyond frustrating and i soon became so irate, i started crying. I soon stopped myself realizing, i am a 25 year old woman, and i called the LA Times and i am getting a copy tomorrow :)

Habibi!
You are super cute!
Although i don't share the same excitement with you about Obama...I have to agree that it was a historic thing for the black community. I have to accept that he will be my president next year so I'm hoping for the best.
I love you too!!! the most amazing thing is that we do share a much greater excitement above everything here on earth...and that is our Lord Jesus Christ and His Kingdom that is coming to earth!!!
Well, sorry to say I actually cried of sadness especially after the speech Mccain gave. It is easy to call republicans idiots now because they have held the office the last 8 years. However, don't be so quick to judge things that you might be judging through an angry perspective. Look, I am gonna take the same stance as Rosy and say all I have to do is hope for the best. But honestly, it's looking glum. All he wants to do is feed money into pockets of millions of people that don't deserve it. And that's the bottom line.
I'm not mad I'm just defending Mccain because he was not like Bush. And I don't care what anyone says about Palin she was awesome because she was herself. I guess for me it's like how can I be Christian and vote for a man as liberal as Obama. Who's church is about politics and racism NOT GOD. Someone who has the most liberal stand point on Marriage and most importantly Abortion.
So I hope that all those Christians that voted for him are happy with the end result. Because honestly he was running a campaign that was only about what people wanted to here. Not the truth.
Peace
