New President

I know it's been a minute...but never in my life have I been so proud to be black. Now I tell my children that they can be ANYTHING that they want to be.

It's a true dream come true...many people didn't think it would happen.

I wasn't in favor of Obama and of course I don't wanna start in but I just wanna give my opinion too. History has been made and i'm thrilled for that...but A LOT of people in my workplace and the community I work in voted democratic for all the wrong reasons (in my eyes)and even admitted to it. I don't know if you get what i'm saying but I think some people in the future need to do their 'homework' and not just decide who they like based on race or color or anything that doesn't have to do with politics and what they really stand for and what they are going to do for our country.

Thank you. I'm glad you understand what i'm saying too. I hope people on the BHB board, cuz I posted similar comments, don't think it's an attack in any way. And I hope people here don't think that either. Those aren't my intentions at all. I just wanna put in my two cents lol. And I know things go both ways with how people vote. I'm just annoyed at the people i've come into contact with.

I agree with you. : )

I do agree with you that I hope people did their homework and made a decision that they saw best, not just voting for the sake of voting.

My undergraduate degree is in Political Science (pre-law) so this was very exciting for me....I did a lot of homework and I am thrilled that Obama won! Fh on the other hand was crying in the shower...

I agree as well...we are way beyond the times of travelling 3 days on horseback to cast your vote. We have complete access to newspapers, internet, TV, podcasts, etc. I think we're educated enough to make our own decisions.
