"I will never forget who this victor really belongs to- it belongs to you![...] I was never the likely candidate for this office [...] this is your victory!"
Obama remains humble while delivering his first speech as the 44th president of the United States! Reflections: I immediately jumped on the Obama band-wagon when Clinton lost the democratic nominee. I read about him, I read from him, I even began to read FOR him. He interested me, as a person. At the time it was hard to fathom that someone so humble, so real, so personable, so young, so black, so liberal, so democratic, so unlikely could actually win as president. But the idea was nice. It was nice to believe that justice still could prevail. It was nice to think that change could be so blatant. It was nice to have something to believe in- to work towards. But thats all it stayed for the bulk of the election- a nice thought. I don't know if I ever imagined this moment. His victory. Our victory. But like many others, I bought my 'Obama' tee, I stood in line, i cast my ballot, and changed my facebook status [daily]. But still it's one of those life-altering things that just seems to surface. No matter how much you pack, plan, and prepare. Some moments are just that amazing. They cant be imangined. Much like a REALLY GOOD unexpected kiss- Obama's victory left me speechless. I could never have imagined it would feel this inexplicable! And whats most wonderful, my HBCU school and I celebrated this together! What began as a school-wide block party on campus quickly fluctuated to a march down Jefferson St. all the way to Fisk University where we hugged and screamed and clapped hands and sang and danced together- all for one purpose. on cause. on man. one moment. one movement! This is so COLOSSAL! I could never have imagined it would be this great.
Barack Obama- the 44th President of the United States, and by the way- he's black.
