Comments on: The 44th President of the United States of America http://www.thefighting44s.com/archives/2008/11/04/the-44th-president-of-the-united-states-of-america/ Uniting the Asian Conscience Thu, 11 Mar 2010 07:19:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Kuroyama http://www.thefighting44s.com/archives/2008/11/04/the-44th-president-of-the-united-states-of-america/#comment-7628 Kuroyama Wed, 05 Nov 2008 12:36:24 +0000 http://www.thefighting44s.com/?p=735#comment-7628 Words alone cannot encompass the scope of what has transpired today. Yet, years from now, words are what we will have to fall back on. Today in North America, a Black man has been elected to the office of President of The United States of America. So much has been accomplished to make this a reality, yet as is true of most things involving race, so much more stands before us waiting to be done. Let us be up to the task, and worthy of what history remembers. Words alone cannot encompass the scope of what has transpired today. Yet, years from now, words are what we will have to fall back on.

That post was the first time I heard about the man, and I did share in PKC's sentiment. Practically cried when they called it for Obama. Here's hoping for a brighter future for all humanity.

Heh, I hope there's something to celebrate, otherwise it'll be like drinking after a break up. Off to eat steak with the family and watch bad TV analysis!

The line at my polling place is so long I thought they were handing out free Xboxes. Since when did democracy become so popular in America? Man, do I wish I did the mail in ballot thing!!!
