Obama & The Election

Today at work I saw a big group of women with buttons on their t-shirts that read: Women For Obama.

Where are McCain’s people? I don’t see them anywhere.

This election is big for a number of reasons, but the reasons why it is important to me, I guess I’ve been hiding out of fear of not expressing myself correctly. I haven’t really been following every news report about the election, the polls or watching the speeches. I never was really interested in politics because I thought of it as corrupt.

But this time I can’t even ignore it if I tried simply because Obama’s face is everywhere. I see people with cut up jeans on rocking Obama’s face on their grungy t-shirts. I’ve seen Obama hats and glasses and cups.

This man is a bigger than a rockstar right now.

Imagine, his face in the White House. Are you kidding me? Do you know what that would do to the psyche of our entire RACE?

I’ve always said that our children don’t dream big because they aren’t exposed to people who are doing it BIG other than the entertainers and athletes that they show on TV. With a Black family in the office our children will know that they have no limits.

This man is handsome, charismatic, well spoken and professionally successful. And the BEST thing is….

This man is married to Michell Obama. Come on, we all know that she is the rock behind his success. Michelle Obama is the most well rounded personality that I have seen in a long time. Where most actresses SEEM like they are acting, even during interviews, she makes you feel like you’re at home hanging with her.

If she were in the White House, all she had to do was talk to the young girls on a regular basis, like maybe, a Young Ladie’s address every other month and spit words of wisdom on a national level and every young Black woman would be waiting to hear what she has to say.

That lady is the ROCK behind Obama. God blessed the man when he met her. As the election comes closer and I see that everybody is pulling together, I’m so excited and nervous at the same time.

It must have been Kanye that inspired their success. When he sang, ‘you’re gonna touch the sky, baby girl!’, I think people believed him.

I know I do.
