The black person was in fact the reverend Jessie Jackson and GR’s post reminded me of the commentator’s remarks. Epidermic and inappropriate.
No only black people were crying, I am white and I was crying as well. following the event on live TV.
egality for all... needs still a lot of work, and Obama is a step in the right direction.
I'm white, and i cried as well. and it wasn't an election about the color of skin, although for some it might have been. i think most americans were just sick to death and embarrassed as hell of Bush as our leader. he did heave office with the lowest approval rating of any president in the history of approval ratings in the USA. Bush is in a large part, responsable for the state of our nation today. I don't think anyone expects Obama to change things overnight. it took 8 years to get here, it CAN'T change overnight. but we are ready for change, and he is a very articulate, intelligent man, compared to McCains hot head, old and diseased body, and the empty headed clown he took as running mate.
it's not an easy job being the president of my country. but i think, so far, Obama is doing a fine job. I am proud, once again, to be an American. let's see where he takes us in the next 8 years.
