Barack Obama Is Black Enough for Moi

Barack Obama is a blast not from the past but from the present into the future. I am not fond of the days when I thought there would never be a black president in my time. As a black person, how daunting is that? I am elated that a man who shares the same birthday as me has more than a fighting chance. Why is it that so many blacks want to fight against such a great opportunity such as this? Complaints of his lack of blackness are empty & baseless. If you have not made a contribution to the upliftment of blacks, then how black are you? Do you go out of your way to ensure that every black person you know has a better life? Many of us have not served our whole community with our kindness & generosity. We have only helped those few that we know & maybe an occassional stranger. Why do we expect Barack Obama to effect change for blacks immediately? He can change the viewpoints of so many just by being elected. I want my son to know that being president is a tangible dream now. Even if his skin is dark & he does not look white.

Michelle Obama represents the kind of black person that I have always aspired to be. At least her persona & image is what I wanted to project to others. Strong, beautiful, & natural black woman who is ready to conquer & defeat the negative stereotypes. She is proof that Barack Obama makes intelligent choices in his life. I believe in the characteristics of each astrological sign & he is a Leo like me. I am generous, firm, loyal, & fair. No man or woman wants to incur my wrath though! I have the most powerful roar when the lion in me is provoked to emerge. Based on my personality, I know Barack Obama will be the best choice.

His skin is fair but so is his disposition towards all of the races. Unlike every white president, Barack Obama will be able to identify with blacks. He will not ignore our issues once he can resolve the ones that plague every race. You know, the economy, the war, the oil crisis, & the recession to name a few. This guy is coming after George Bush. He is the designated clean up man who will be left to sort through this mess. Give him a chance to clean the mess before you search so ardently for the dirt.
