I've been gone for a minute but now I'm back with the jumpoff. Our 44th President is an African American named Barack Obama, can you believe it? When he beat Hillary Clinton I knew it was all over. I thought, "They like him, they really like him!" The white people surprised me the most though. They had their bumper stickers, lawn signs, t-shirts, buttons and hats. Everyone was supporting the African American Democratic candidate.
But McCain is the real reason for the landslide victory. McCain gave the people of the United States the final reason to vote for Obama. 
The laughing stock of presidential history, Sarah Palin. I assume, McCain attempted to grab the Clinton supporters by placing another woman in the race. Well that backfired more than a beat up Buick. 
Palin embarrassed herself time an time again with senseless comments, unanswered questions and just being who she is. I personally didn't agree with her running for VP, when she has a newborn baby. And in addition to her other four children, the newborn has down syndrome. This baby needs extra attention from everyone especially his mother. She publicized her daughters teenage pregnancy with the entire world. Palin couldv'e refused the position and waited until the next term for the sake of her family. She was inexperienced anyway. What gave her the idea that she was even fit for the position? 
Just because someone offers you a job, doesn't mean you have to take it. Yes, this job was high on the totem pole but she made a fool of herself trying to take on the challenge. Taking her serious isn't an option. If she stepped in as the Commander-in-chief, I may move to Canada. I would be out of the United States but still close by.
Back to the reason for the worlds happiness, Barack Obama. I think he is an outstanding, educated, confident, accomplished, family-oriented and positive Black role model. He is the role model for all the Black men who didn't have a father to look up to. He is the evidence of you can be whatever you want to be.
Many generations and races decided together that they wanted more out of their president this term. They wanted to see the country go and grow into a new direction. We joined forces and made it happen United States. And this historic event is the first step in our quest of unity, liberty and justice for all.
