President Obama - America is changed

Democratic Party, Presidential Candidate

Written by Michael Vass

President Obama has won the election and history has been created. There is no limit to the feelings some have about this moment, and I have trouble describing my feelings as well.

I have always respected President Obama, though I differ with his views for America. But that is the essence of America. People having different views and yet working together for a greater good.

I know some are elated right now. And they should be. As one person mentioned to me

“You all don’t know what it really means. You grew up in a time that you could sit where ever you want on a bus or train. Could eat at any restaurant you want. And not have to enter restaurants, stores, movies buildings through the back door only. Or drink from a water fountain, or use a toilet marked “Colored Only”.

My heart is heavy, I can hardly breathe. Now a person of color Can say to their child that they can grow up to be the president and mean it!!”

So tonight is a night of jubilation. Enjoy it.

But tomorrow I hope for us all to work together in supporting our President, remembering the promises made to the public, and making America better.
