It has been a long road. Hillary pulled a Huckabee and failed to face the numeric realities. Obama had to overcome Wright’s wrong steps, and the presses failure to actually research a story before presenting it. Now Obama has only McCain to overcome to become our next president.
Around the world people of color are rejoicing. They are celebrating, not because Obama is himself the leader they are looking for, but because he shows that one can be born of any race or ethnic group and make something of oneself. For the last four centuries, one had to be of pure European descent to gain certain positions. That era may be over.
The United States is finally becoming the nation that it has claimed to be all along. Our grandparents suffered so that our generation could really live the American dream of equality and freedom. We are at the doorway. All we have to do is walk through it.
