Tonight, is a historic night in American history. Never before has an African American been elected president. But, you didn't need me to tell you that. Everybody knows that I am a huge Obama supporter, almost as big as they come. I did lots of work back in Lee's Summit for his campaign and I read both of his award winning books. I know I'm a little liberal. But, I took an amazing liking to Barack Obama. I studied the man, his policies, and politics. I was amazed to find out, what I consider to be, one of the greatest stories in American history...
Summed up nicely from his website:
"Barack Obama was raised by a single mother and his grandparents. They didn't have much money, but they taught him values from the Kansas heartland where they grew up. He took out loans to put himself through school. After college, he worked for Christian churches in Chicago, helping communities devastated when steel plants closed. Obama turned down lucrative job offers after law school to return to Chicago, leading a successful voter registration drive. He joined a small law firm, taught constitutional law and, guided by his Christian faith, stayed active in his community. Obama and his wife Michelle are proud parents of two daughters, Sasha and Malia."
This is the ultimate rags-to-riches story in American history. Not only do I agree with his policies, but I love this man and his story. It is so refreshing to see such an uplifting and overcoming story in America. Just as Barack stated tonight, if this isn't the ultimate example of anything being possible in America, I don't know what is.
Congratulations to you Mr. Obama. You deserve everything you've earned. You also gave one of your best speeches ever tonight. How do I know this? It made me cry...tears of joy for this uplifting and inspiring man and most importantly, our leader.
