This gives me hope that maybe America is ready to move beyond the color barrier and acknowledge people for who they are and what they can accomplish. I also hope that Obama will help restore America's reputation (especially overseas) that has been badly tarnished over the last several years.
I must say I don't envy Obama's position a single bit. He has a very tough road ahead of him stabilizing our economy. If he can put America back on track, he may very well be perceived as being one of the great presidents of our nation. I mean, if you think about it... can it get any worse?? It will be very interesting to see how his first 90 days in office will shape up. I plan on following it very closely.
For those of you who missed it...
If you would like to read more about our new President, Barack Obama, you can check out these books (written by Obama himself):
The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream
Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance
Change We Can Believe In: Barack Obama's Plan to Renew America's Promise
I have reserved a copy of "The Audacity of Hope" myself and I plan on reading it as soon as it becomes available at my local library.
