Barack Obama, America's 1st African-American President

November 4, 2008, was a historic day in American history, when we elected Barack Obama as our President. I write this as a record for myself and for my children, who will inevitably ask "Where were you when he was elected?"

I also write this because I am exceedingly proud of the Obama campaign. Obama is intelligent, practical, resourceful, and a hard worker. I believe in his values, and for the first time in a LONG time (probably about 15 years) I am proud to be an American.

I am also glad that we finally have a President I can admire, respect, and is a role model for anyone.

Obama did it for his daughters, and I can only hope that others will follow.
