What happens there affects us in many ways and Obama as the next president would be a great, great step moving forward after 8 years of gloom under W. It's scary how some people believe the McCain-Palin campaign based on inflicting fear in the hearts of Americans with issues that don't exist. And how some are still blind-sided with the issue of race in the 21st century. The only good thing that came out of all these is the great material for Tina Fey, and she "needs help to stop playing that woman" she says.

Obama is the change the world needs. The man is inspiring to the say the least.


"Change never comes without a fight.”

I am so looking forward to his first speech as the new President of the United States.
