President Barack Obama. America's first black President. It was a convincing victory too. Not only did he get the electoral votes needed but the plurality as well. Just as important, the Democrats won the Senate and the House.
I guess with it the empty threats of people moving from the States to a number of countries will subside.
Now was a good time as any to elect a black President. The truth is America, rightly or wrongly, had lost its sparkle in the eyes of many. Perhaps the symbolism of Obama is something that was needed. However, there are significant issues America faces. Now we will find out what he's all about.
With it I hope a lot of anger and resentment towards the United States will finally be on a path to healing.
As I write this, Senator McCain has just concluded a gracious and impressive concession speech.
America is a great country. Always was; always will be.
