i like many of you reading this have been supporting barack obama for some time now. i living in illinois got to see him in is political infancy but did not know what he could become. as i watched with my father the democratic convention in boston in 04 this guy barack obama was about to give a speech. at this point i am praying that kerry wins and had hoped hillary was the actual democratic nominee. listening to barack say we are not red states blue states we are the united states of america i got chills because i have always hated that about america, it wasnt united. when it was over i told my father kerry gots it in the bag there is no way bush can repeat after all of this stupidity we have seen. as we all know i was wrong and we all were disappointed. the one thing i did say to my father that night was watch out for this obama guy he seems to be of the people and is reminsent of JFK and his brother, if he runs he will win. it took my father a long time to come around and i think he truly saw what i saw in him at his convention speech earlier this year. i sit hear at 330 am thursday watching the news specifically CNN but reading and watching video from around the world and i have never been more proud of this country. people all over the world are rejoicing and celebrating en masse that obama has won. i thought obama would be good for this country because he understood our problems and was sick of the bickering that has shaped our politics for many years but the world to is sick of the broken promises and the buying of our politicians. the world needs barack obama it needs him to restore the idea of what america was and what it has to be. it needs the beacon of light that has guided the world through many of the darkest times this world has seen. it needs the leader of the free world to again lead by example and not by words. it needs the the shoulder to cry on, the open arms it can run to when it needs to, the helping hand of the country that cared for the ones that could not help themselves. it needs the steady voice that calmed the fears of many during the darkest points of our history. it needs to believe again. it needs to be able to hope and more importantly see that hope realized. it needs barack obama. i am proud of my country today, i have hope for my world tommorow.
