It's More Meaningful Then a Campaign

Everyone keeps telling me I am witnessing history, but it still hasn’t sunk in. Last night I saw as the map of the country turned blue and the music and screams of celebration grew louder in my neighborhood. I am here seeing what I hope to be a change in the country that I have criticized ever since I understood how to. For the past eight years I have referred not George Bush as the occupant of the White House, he has never been my president. I was only seven when he took office, he is basically all I’ve known. But Obama has already filled the role in my eyes. President Obama. When I saw him on stage the was a different vibe then when I saw Chenney speak, even McCain. He is my president and I do feel that if I am to make change it will not be by criticizing him but by making the change myself. By accepting my country for what it is and valuing it completely I can take that and through the care and devotion for the people I can change the statues quo. For the people by the people. I am a citizen of the United States and it is my duty to be that change that i always expect the politicians to take care of. I only hope that every one took away from this victory that I did, a drive to be the change Obama claims to be. To unite as a people and not be distracted by ridiculous labels like republican or democrat, because those words mean nothing. We need to understand that there is no way, or reason that we should divide ourselves into these sub groups and forget the bigger picture. In the end this race has been a dividing roller coaster and I think that must end now. Forget about it and look forward.
