On Our Nation

I want to make it clear to everyone out there reading this: I truly have mixed emotions about our most recent election. Make no mistake about it, I supported McCain/Palin, and I still wish they had won. But I want to also make a point about something that still weighs on my heart. I am honestly glad that we have come to a place in our country where we can elect a person of color as the president. In all truthfulness, I wondered many times as a child and teenager why all the presidents were white men, why no black man ever ran for president. And I can say with every fiber in my being that I am so happy to see that we elected somebody of color. I truly hope that now, once and for all, people can stop focusing on racism and we can really come together as one nation under God, no matter what our differences are. That being said, I must clarify one thing: I do not believe that BARAK HUSSEIN OBAMA is black. His mother is as white as me, and his father is (or was) a muslim radical from Kenya, and that does not imply that his father was a native of Kenya, it just means that's where he lived. And yet Mr. Obama claims to have made history as the first "black" president. Of course, that claim isn't true, which means that he resorted to using "race" falsely as a means to get a vote. I don't think any man should be elected as president if he can't first and foremost be HONEST!!
So, as I said, I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. I don't think he was the best choice for president, but I am truly so happy that we have finally come to the point as a nation of including all races in the race for the White House.
