See you in 1984

My mind is racing more and more, each day, since history was made on November 4, 2008, when Democratic Candidate Barack H. Obama won the 2008 Presidential Election. I have thought about what this means for Black people (I despise the term African American) and for the U.S.A. November 4, 2008 was my proudest day as an American, yet I am concerned about what black people expect and think President-Elect Obama should and or will do once he becomes President Obama.

I was talking with a guy today, who said to me, “I think Obama is going to bring Kwanzaa to the White House.” I told the guy “if he does it’s good, if not so what!”

Now I do not know about anybody else, but I voted for Barack Obama because this country needs a change that will make this country a better country.

Later on (more...)

Friend --

I'm about to take the stage in St. Paul and announce that we have won the Democratic nomination for President of the United States.

It's been a long journey, and we should all pause to thank Hillary Clinton, who made history in this campaign. Our party and our country are better off because of her.

I want to make sure you understand what's ahead of us. Earlier tonight, John McCain outlined a vision of America that's very different from ours -- a vision that continues the disastrous policies of George W. Bush.

But this is our moment. This is our time. Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past and bring new energy and new ideas to the challenges we face. Our time to offer a new direction for the country we love.

It's going to take hard work, but thanks to you and millions of other donors and volunteers, no one has ever been more prepared for such a challenge.

Thank you for everything you've done to get us here. Let's keep making history.

Barack
