Atleast for me now it is...
i've never been the most patriotic proud to be American person...and honestly i didnt see a reason to be...history told me that America hadnt done shit for me and people like me.. so i was like bump it if u dont want me 2 be American then i wont be, i excepted the fact that i would never fit in to the lilly white portriat of America that had been ingraind into American culture...
When Obama started running i relized how far America had gotten since The Civil Rights movement but at the same time i knew dirty old America always carried a bag of tricks and was good at leaving people like me deperate hopeless and heart broken.
I supported Obama all the way, registered voters canvased the whole nine but in my heart i never thought it would happen. And even today i find that with this newly cultivated hope i have for my country (thats the first time i've called America my country) i also hold this fear that i assume stems out of me thinking that itz too good to be true and not forgeting all the horrible thingz America has done to my people...
Nobody knows wat to expect from Obama i guess thatz one of things that attracted me 2 him...all i kno is that he stands for a much needed change and i doubt that his 2 terms as president (HOPE) will be as devastating to America as those of W.
Whew....im lovin the new face of America...Obama is probably the most radical political change the i've seen in my 15 years of life...and not to mention his wife Michelle (First Lady if you dont mind) is a powerhouse of a Black Women and on of my role models....
This could be great...This will be great
He told us we could, We should that we can!!
Now we just wait to see how this pans out...im looking forward to holding Obama accountable but mostly for being held accountable and finally government making things happen for me and all of us AMERICANS!!!
GOD BLESS THE USA!
