The Democratic primary is over. Barack Obama claimed victory tonight.
Hillary Clinton is tone-deaf. It is almost sad to watch her str
ategize about how to become a vice president. She thanked Obama for running ... but, did not acknowledge that he has won. However, it really doesn't matter. Hillary Clinton became a footnote to history tonight. She did better than any other woman in history. She won a lot of votes while losing the primary election. But, in the end ... she lost.
Tomorrow we can begin talking about the general election and John McCain and vice presidential candidates.
Today ... I join with other villagers as we bask in the glow of a Barack Obama victory. The past five months have been remarkable as we watched this skinny Black guy with the funny name overcome the Clinton machine.
Do you remember how you felt back in January when Obama gave his victory speech in Iowa? I sat with my mom watching this speech. We were both brought to tears as it dawned on us that he could win ... that white people could actually support a Blackman for the highest office in the land.
Do you remember how you felt when you were first introduced to his family?
D
o you remember when you first heard Will-I-Am and his 'Yes We Can!' YouTube video?
Do you remember how you felt when he gave the 'More Perfect Union' speech in Philadelphia. It was remarkable to hear a public leader talk with us about race relations in a candid manner.
Do you remember how you felt when he received endorsements from Oprah Winfrey, Ted Kennedy, Chris Dodd, Bill Richardson, John Edwards and others?
Now fast-forward your vision to November 2008. Can you imagine how you and your children will feel when Barack Obama becomes the 44th President of the United States?
Care to share your thoughts and vision for Barack Obama at this very critical moment in our nation's history? What say u?
