Okay...pause. While watching CNN today it was reported that a top terrorist leader (organization being withheld) labeled Obama a "House Negro" amongst many other criticisms. I was kind of taken back because I've heard & read so many positive stories of how those around the world welcomed Obama with open arms and are now willing to strengthen their relationship with the United States. Hearing the term "House Negro" kind of...No, IT DID PUT ME BRING ME BACK TO REALITY. A term used to differentiate slaves was used in 2008 to offend the first black president of the United States in his efforts to move foward and bring about CHANGE...something we can all agree hasn't happened in a long time. What a shame.
Election 2008 has passed and OBAMA did an outstanding job, winning popular/electoral votes! For those of us whose daily schedules consisted of checking on campaign news, watching the polls, and praying that Obama wins, those days are over. What's next? We all have HOPE that the next four years will play out very nice. We hope to look back at Obama's presidency and see a fixed economy, health care for all, troops returning home, a safe and clean environment, etc...BUT the reality is that it will be awhile before things begin rolling. Obama faces a lot of challenges when he steps into office in January, so let's give him all the prayer, love, &
support...because he's going to need it.
