Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama has made history by becoming the first African-American to head the ticket of a major U.S. political party.
I hope and pray that our country sees positive changes!!!!!!!
The Times of London saw Obama's victory as evidence that "the United States remains a land of opportunity."
"This moment's significance is its resounding proof of the truism about America as a land of opportunity: Mr Obama's opportunity to graduate from Harvard and take Washington by storm," it wrote.
It said his victory also demonstrates "the opportunity that the world's most responsive democratic system gives its voters to be inspired by an unknown; the opportunity that outsiders now have to reassess the superpower that too many of them love to hate.
"Win or lose in November, he will have gone farther than anyone in history to bury the toxic enmity that fueled America's civil war and has haunted it ever since."

Well, our politics are very different....
But it's a nice post and I the one thing I DO like about Obama is the fact that a black man can make it to the top.
Nice layout, btw.
Thanks Jeff for visiting and what I love about our country IS the fact anyone can be president and know that we have an African American who for me at least, holds such promise I can open my heart a little to believe in Americana again.
Well, I'd like to see a Puerto Rican president, what about that?
As long as she is a good Republican... :p
Bad BAD Jeff!
