I have yet to find the words to describe the overwhelming sense of satisfaction I felt on Nov. 4, 2008 when Obama won the popular vote by 53 percent. With tears in my eyes, and joy in my heart, I stood alongside people of color across the nation as we celebrated America's first inauguration of a black president. As a young black man, I felt a true sense of patriotism as I witnessed our country rally together to show, finally, that we are more concerned about who is the most qualified man for the job, regardless of race or age. As Obama so simply, yet eloquently, stated during his celebration speech -change had come to America -a change we so desperately needed after eight painful years of George W.

Big on HBCUs apparently.
No one to tell him his rose colored glasses need to be replaced, and his faery dust is unicorn excrement.
I’m certain the Liberians of today are really thankful that their ancestors escaped the U.S. and founded their prosperous, peaceful, wonderful country.
I’d say 90%, but other than that, I agree with you
Thanks for posting the link. It was a good read, and very good at tying Obolas to outright fascism..
Obama won the popular vote by 53 percent.
Lemme stop you right there. You telling me that Obama got 53% more of the popular vote than John McCain? McCain had 23%, Obama had 76%? Seriously?
And the only reason you dear author (not you Dallas59) are for Obama.
As a young black man.
Thats all you needed to say.
Ugh.
