I am all sentimental now - I love and adore Obama so much - A Tribute

[Christa]

This election almost has the same feel as when South Africa voted in 1994 with Nelson Mandela on the ballot.
There as many lines and as many emotions, old people in tears for having the chance to
vote for the first time. It was a vote of hope as well.

I was not as nervous then, as we knew it was a forgone conclusion that Mandela would win.
At the moment I am stressed out and very nervously optimistic that we will have a
historic outcome tonight which will make us proud to be Americans again.





I do believe he would have loved to have his mother and grandmother with him tonight.



Two-year-old Barack Hussein Obama, in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1963. His mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, was the white daughter of a Kansas furniture and insurance salesman who moved his family to Hawaii on the eve of statehood. There, she met and married Barack Hussein Obama Sr., a former Kenyan goatherd and the first African student to enroll at the University of Hawaii.



He will be the he will be the best basketball player in the history of the White House.

1. If people here really knew me...

you'd all know I am not the type to go gaga over ANYONE. However, I adore this man Obama. There is just something about him. Granted, I didn't give a shit which Democrat won the primaries. I knew Obama would be President, but not so soon! That was quite a shock. Anyway, I've watched this guy with a very cyincal eye, and he is the real deal.

2. I'm also like this.

I have never had a hero. I don't really look up to anyone. But this man, he's something. And as of right now I have not foung anything I can fault. And I'm good at finding stuff.

He does what I can't do. He loves his enemy. He's big. I'm blown away by him. I'll even say that I don't like the notion of family. But his family blew me out of the water. I'm totally taken by them. He brings something we all need and could learn from. That's what a true leader is.

3. I love every fiber of his being.

I have never loved anyone that I did not know personally, before.

4. I hope he feels the love tonight :)
