Hello, Mr. President!


The first Black president-elect of the United States of America and the first family. Simply beautiful! This is truly an awesome day in American history. Let us celebrate with dignity, respect, and a bravado that we've never experienced before.

God bless Barack Obama and God bless America!

May all who came before him rest peacefully knowing that their labor was not in vain. God bless Sojourner Truth. God bless Marcus Garvey. God bless Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. God bless my grandparents, Mr. Albert Owens and Mrs. Fannie Owens.

And God bless my dad, Nathaniel Owens, who did not get a chance to see a black man elected to the highest seat in the land.

I think it is good that America can elect a Black for president. This speaks volumes about the character of our country, despite the efforts the left will make to cancel those volumes out just in the next two months and certainly over the next four years.

But I still have issues with Obama. He is passionately pro-abortion, has openly (finally) admitted to pushing a socialist agenda (though he still tries to paint opposition to socialism as being selfish) and does not want to see the United States of American retain its place in the free world.

Those things make me ashamed that he is Black. I suspect he will spend the next four years governing badly and dividing the nation. Then blaming "racism" for America's unwillingness to follow him blindly into the heart of socilaism.

No, as a Black man, getting mugged by a Black man doesn't make the mugging any easier to take.
