      I'm guessing that at this moment, the 44th President elect, is taking a congratulatory call from the 43rd President.

      This may be Barack receiving McCain's concession by phone.

      You go girl your braids were slamming
      seeing a beautiful young girl on stage in the mist of all of what was going on with braids in her hair brought tears to my eyes :)

      What was achieved on Nov. 4th is truly a victory and in no way should it be seen otherwise within its' right. But not for the same reason it is also the spark which will ignite our constitution doused over the years with the fuel of dwelling liberties by the very people it was designed to protect.

      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.

      The video is here at;

      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.
