I agree with Rusty, instead of ‘we are owed this election because of our past.’ How about, ‘we owe ourselves the dignity of making an honest choice on Election Day, casting our vote based on policies rather than skin color?’
“We are on the eve of a new day in America while standing at the door of a new opportunity — moving forward and not forgetting that which is behind — but grabbing hold to the change of renewed hope. On November 4th, the election our ancestors dreamed of and many thought would never happen during their lifetime is going to take place. It is my humble opinion Senator Barack Obama will be elected President of the United States of America. He will not just be elected but in a mighty and convincing way, it will be an opportunity to break the shackles of hopelessness that has weighed us down for so long. It has put wind in our sail to move us forward as Americans while showing the world that a true democracy of the people and by the people can overcome a brutal past of racism.
You have heard all of the speeches from both sides and you have listened to all of the experts, so now it is up to you. All you have to do is take a few moments and vote and remind your friends and neighbors to vote by November 4th for Barack Obama.”
Would it be enough just to win the office or does he have to do a good job too? Based on the article, I’m guess that a win will do.
