I am beyond ecstatic that Mr. Obama is President-Elect. My enthusiasm is not based on the fact that he is an African American, but based on the tactics and class portrayed in his campaign. He could have belittled Palin for the 150,000 -plain- wardrobe and so much more. I was not much surprised that the South voted for McCain. Why should the Infamous South full of older white conservative families vote for a Black man to guide the country. Anyway, enough about that silliness!
I am just so proud that my son has such a prominent hero, who is not an athlete, who did not pay his way through everything, and who understands the essence of hard work. He has a tough job ahead, but any fool could do better than BUSH JR!
I just wish Martin Luther King, Emmett Till and his mother, Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglas, and WEB Dubois could have witnessed this historic day!
On another note, it was quite disturbing to hear that in Caledonia, MS several white Caledonia High School students ranted racial slurs at fellow classmates and iterated pure hatred for Obama. Wonder where they got it from? Listening to their parents perhaps?
So many people that I know voted for McCain said that it wasn't based on race. How many of them were actually black? ZERO. Was there any validity in their confession of their private choice? One will never know.
Okay, enough about politics.

I did not hear about the incident in Caledonia! That is very wrong and disrespectful. If that happened at school then those students should have been severely disciplined.
