For the first time ever in the history of my life, I am so excited about an election! I am certainly not one for politics, but this year that has changed! Barack Obama has become the first African- American to lead a major party's ticket for president of the United States (in case you haven't heard) and I am so excited! I love watching the Mr. and Mrs. Obama together, they just seem like a "real" family to me and that is just something you don't see much of when it comes to politicians. I know like a lot of you out there, I AM READY FOR CHANGE! I wanted to post this today because today is the day that Martin Luther King Jr. made his very famous " I have a dream" speech and will also be the day that Barack Obama will accept the Democratic Nomination at the National Convention in Denver. Forty-five years ago King made that speech and here we are today witnessing the first African-American running for president. I truly feel honored to be part of history and I am so glad that my children will experience this in their own little way. I hope that you all will watch tonight because you will be witnessing part of history! I am so excited and I hope you are just as excited for this election!

This is history in the making and to be here, living in the moment to witness this is just simply a blessing. I'm honored as a black man that America and its people are allowing for this change to come forth. Who are we as people? What is your most pressing issues? Are we ready for a black man in the white house? I think so and the people of America, of all colors and creeds seem to agree... just ask the 85,000 people that showed up in Denver. Go Obama!
I agree!!! Let's just hope that America is ready for a change and will vote for Obama on Nov. 4th!!! GO OBAMA!!!!
