Dream Come True

Date: 11/10/2008

My dream that we will be saying "President Elect Barack Obama" on Nov. 5 has become a reality.

What an incredible journey it has been. Barack Obama has created history, he has done the unthinkable he has won the Presidency of the United States of America. He has shown intelligence, charisma and his campaign was carefully orchestrated. On Nov. 5 we are saying President Elect Barack Obama.

I see the United States going back to the glory days of the 1960s during the Kennedy years. America certainly has come long way; finally Martin Luther King's dream is a reality where a person is judged for who they are and not by the color of their skin. Young people will realize that a good education is their passport to a better life.

It would['ve] be[en] a total nightmare if McCain [had] won and something [had] happened to him and we [had] inherit[ed] Sarah Palin as the President. Perish the thought; I shudder just thinking about it.

Congratulations America, we have done well, we did the right thing and chose the right person to be President of the United States of America. "Barack Obama solid as a rock."
