Our President

I was talking to my oldest friends and we agreed that we never thought we'd see a Black President in our lifetimes. We all grew up being sold the idea that we could be anything we wanted in this great nation of ours; however, my wildest imaginations never included a Brother as the MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE WORLD.

Now, our president, who validates the promise of America not only for my fellow African Americans, but for all people who believe in equality, is under fire by the opposing party. Now I will admit that things are not as great as we hoped for when we voted Barack Obama in, but he has begun what he set out to do and he needs the support of everyone of every ethicinity and income level that suppored him before to do so again, so that WE can finish what WE began when we voted him in.

As to those who oppose him, but won't own up to the real reason (Begins with an 'R' and ends with 'acism'), it would serve you right if Cain (somehow) won the nomination and went up against the potus.

Of course, I suppose a few people so vehemently against our president are not focused on the color of his skin, but the truth is, the Republicans arrayed against him in 2012 are not going to make the economy or other issues any better. We as a nation need to work together to elect officials from the local to the national level who can work together to help all of their fellow Americans, not just their own constituents or those who can pay for favors.
