Things Can Only Get Better In The USA

The Barbados Blog would like to congratulate Barack Obama on his historic win in the presidential elections of November 4th 2008 and becoming the first black president of the United States of America. Obama was born on August 4th 1961 of a white mother from Kansas and an African father from Kenya and has truly proved that the American Dream really does exist for people of all races.
I must admit that I’m glad to see the back of President George Bush and his Vice President Dick Cheney and the Republican Party in the USA. They are possible the most corrupt and incompetent pairing that America has ever had the misfortune of having in charge of the country.
Barack Obama and the Democrats have a massive task in sorting out the huge mess America is currently in and any countries in the world that are assuming that they are going to benefit because of the colour of the new President of Americas skin, better wake up and take a reality check.
I feel these words said by Barack Obama when it had become known that he would become the new president of America will become immortal, “If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer”.
Barack Obama is above all else a very, very proud American and loves his country and If anybody has the ability and desire to make it a better place it is him.
I feel it is poignant to leave you with an exert from the last speech called, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” giving by Dr. Martin Luther King, jnr. which was delivered on the 3rd of April 1968, which was the eve of his assignation.
“And I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people will get to the Promised Land. And I’m happy, tonight. I’m not worried about anything. I’m not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.” Dr. Martin Luther King, jnr.
