 We’ve all run this marathon before, and we know the sickening feeling of being outsprinted to the tape. We know about coming in second. And we’re so good at it—five out of the last seven races we’ve come up short—that we expect to lose. We heard the trumpets of doom for two solid years: the Democrats will figure out a way to blow it. And they might have, and perhaps even looked certain to after annointing a black man as their candidate. But a funny thing happened on the way to the loser’s circle. Americans proved that the only color more important to them than black is green.

 Barack Obama, President-Elect.
At this moment, I’m still in shock. The pessimist in me was sure the powers that be weren’t going to allow a black man to occupy the highest government seat in this country. Still I watched Obama run his campaign and I must admit, what he lacks in experience, he makes up for with focus and tact. At no point in his election campaign did I see him visibly shaken up by the effects of the campaign process. |

 The election of our 44th president, Barack Obama, has proven to be the change we need. His policies and future plans have not yet made it to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., but the barriers that have been placed before us for over 400 years were torn down with every speech, clasping further with every debate, and diminished on Tuesday, November 4, 2008. This is no doubt an American victory. But what strikes home the most is the height of the fire that burns in African Americans of all ages, parties and social classes. It is a vision to see past the transparent glass ceiling to a world of a new and boundless altitude, infinite sunrays, and broadened possibilities.

 It is appropriate to begin by congratulating President-Elect Barack Obama for presiding over a near-flawless Democratic primary campaign against Senator Hillary Clinton and an equally near-flawless campaign against Senator John McCain for the U.S. presidency. Students of politics should study it closely for guidance on how to run a early 21st Century political campaign.
