What an incredibly fantastic night this was. I will never, ever forget how I felt when you walked on to that stage. A bunch of us were drinking beer at a restaurant and immediately burst into tears upon your arrival.
Thank you so much, Barack Obama. You are a huge inspiration for all of us. Thank you.

Everyone of voting age should read these two books. Don't buy them, get them from the library before they are removed from the shelves. Could anyone really want this for our country????? scroll down . From Dreams of My Father:'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.' From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.' From Dreams of My Father:'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.' From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.' From Dreams of My Father:'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.' And FINALLY the Most Damning one of ALL of them!!! From Audacity of Hope:'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.' * If you have never forwarded an e-mail, now is the time to Do so!!! We CANNOT have someone with this type of mentality running our GREAT nation!! I don't care whether you a Democrat or a Conservative. We CANNOT turn ourselves over to this type of character in a President.
PLEASE help spread the word

Such fierce integrity, such class and humility. I cried my eyes out with joy that we NOW finally have such an incredible man to represent our nation.. Someone who is intelligent, understands community, hard work, commitment, unity and really caring about others and our WORLD. You have given sooo many people hope and the ability to believe, not only in themselves but in a brighter future that WE ALL can work towards. It is not your burden alone. We are a democracy that must work together. Now as the people have SHOUTED, the best man to lead that walk into the future is here!!
Still overwhelmed with emotion at how important and truly special this historic moment is..
Thank you and God Bless you and your fantastic family.
UNITE!!!

Dear President Obama
I produced this as a means of supporting
your efforts in the quest for world peace.
I used the images as a means of innuendo.
.
The Video is called;
"Show us the way President Obama"
I am honored by your win, your presence in
American politics and your extreme courage
to change the very fabric of our nation for the
better.

Love Stan
A proud American
P.S. To all others viewing this, it is a
very strong message and the only way
to fully understand the intent is to watch
it all the way through.
If it is overwhelming, book mark
and come back later.
If you think it inappropriate,
to this I say these people like you
have hopes, aspirations, dreams, family
and every single one of them still breathing
now belong to our new President.
