At last an intelligent, educated man. I'm so proud to have this man elected as our next president. He has a real hard job to do that will take time. Things are such a mess right now. Hopefully white & black and all other race of people will not blame him for the long process of repair. Because it will take time to clean this mess up. This man is smart and he will make good choices for us and things will get better. Just keep in mind it will not be over night. This is 8 yrs of mess ups.

No Black folk haven't tried to make him out to be the Messiah. His opponents did that when they were trying to find ways to discredit him. I didn't see anyone crying foul when Sarah Palin said God wanted us in Iraq. So what is the problem with people believing that God wanted this man in the White House. We don't see him as a Messiah and we know that we have to help him make his dreams a reality. I didn't look at him as the second coming of Christ during the campaign or now either. I look at him as a man who believes in God and is willing to tell the world that I don't just make decisions I pray on them. Because he did pray about running before he actually did it. Those of us who are God fearing people do believe that when God ordains something it happens. It may not always happen immediately but it happens.

We did it together. high five to all of us. President elect Obama endured one of the worst sneer campaigns i have seen. He was attacked continuousily and he kept focused and kept fighting for us. I am so proud of him.

With a joy filled heart, deep abiding faith and prayerful humility the long awaited change has arrived. The trail blazers of our past paved the road for the awakening of this new era. God has always had a plan. One that would introduce his chosen one to the world representing all people and sowing the seed of togetherness, respect and love throughout the world. May God's strong arms strengthen and sustain the Obamas as they embark on this new journey. My prayers of assurance in God and his unyielding word enrich all you seek to accomplish with love, endurance and prosperity.
