Barack Obama

On Tuesday, the citizens of this country made the right choice in picking Obama as its new president beginning January 20th, 2009. There has always been a saying that "anybody could become president of the United States", but there seemed to be racial, religious and sexist undertones attached to this. The religious undertone was broken when John Kennedy, a catholic was elected in 1960. When someone other than a white person would be elected was anyones guess but now it has happened in the case of this Afro-American who in a smartly run campaign who earned the support of real people and not stuffed shirts deserves his spot in history and got it this week. We all should wish him well and give his the support he needs and help him out in trying to solve the problems bestowed on this country caused by poor judgement of past administrations.
