I for one welcome our President Elect and his lovely family. It's wonderful that we have progressed in my lifetime from limited civil rights for black people with integration the norm to having an African American as our president. I thought we had made lots of progress in our nation until I read in Wikipedia about the racial makeup of the Senate- the man who is replacing Obama in the Senate will be the only black person in that legislative body which means Obama was the only black senator. That's not much progress.
I hope all of us can put our differences behind us and rally behind our president elect and honor the high office he is seeking to fill. As for our current President Bush, even though we may not have liked his war policies he still deserves our respect for his efforts in leading our country. I think Barrack is in for a rude awakening as he tries to bring all the strident voices in our country together in building a future for America. My prayers are certainly with him for his protection and success in his aims. I'm happy to have voted for him even though I don't approve of some of the Democratic party's platform. I just felt Obama was needed to lead our country at this time. Changes are coming...
