President Barack Hussein Obama.
I am so happy right now, and I will be so proud when you are my President. I can't wait!

I remember the days of White's Only and Colored Only signs, among many other ugly things. I almost can't wrap my mind around what's happening right now!

We'll just keep seeing Obama,our guy, our Democratic nominee and it will hit!

5. Oh man, that brought TEARS to my eyes! You're right -- |
|
change HAS already happened ... Can't WAIT to see the newspapers ALL OVER THE WORLD tomorrow. Our stock as a nation has just gone up by simply nominating this extraordinary man.
Now all we have to do is get a VP candidate who's not ... her.

I haven't felt so much hope for our nation in... well, ever, really. I'm only 28, so I haven't lived long enough to see unsullied American triumph, but seeing the first African-American President in the prime of my life is more than I could have ever hoped for.

12. I was trying to explain to two of my adult children tonight |
|
just how historic this is in so many ways. They have never known an election without a Bush or a Clinton involved. They have not grown up with racism (at least not around me), so they don't know how remarkable it is that we will have a biracial president.
I shied away from being the didactic mom, but I did tell them in no uncertain terms:
Politics and U.S. history are about to get very interesting! :party:

28. I had a big conversation about this very thing with my 27 year old daughter |
|
a couple of weeks ago, when the t-shirt with Obama and Curious George on it. She said she kind of knew what the t-shirt meant, but not really, so I told her about how truly ugly things were when I was growing up.
In a way, I'm glad I had to explain it to her, because that means that that kind of ugliness is not something she sees like I did.

I am extremely proud that the Democratic party of America has finally nominated a black man to be the next president of the United States. President Barack Hussein Obama. Sounds damn good to me.
