BROOKLEN BORNE

On November 4, 2008, I watched television so intensely; switching between BET, ABC, MSNBC and CNN.  My reason for watching the different networks so intensely was because, I wanted to see the impossible become possible, the possibility of change for a better economy, the possibility of word harmony, the possibility for a brighter tomorrow.

Then at 11 pm Eastern Standard Time, the possibility became one step closer to reality, when the announcement was heard around the world. Barrack Obama has won enough votes to secure the Office of the Presidency.  I never thught in my life time I would see a man of color, hold that office in these United States.

Now that we have elected him into office, let us continue to support him and his family, while he does his best to ge this country back on the right track; economically and socially.  Let us not forget his background.  His mother is white from Kansas and his father is black from Kenya; so he is the man for all people and the best qualified to be the captain of our nation.
