A Little Bit Different

I always thought it could happen. I always believed it would happen and now it has. America has elected Obama to be the next President. Over the last two years, we have gotten a glimpse of how Obama will be as President. I suspect that he will govern center-left as President Clinton did given the fact that Newsweek found that we are a center-right country that favors tax cuts and little government involvement. Also, many conservatives think Obama is just a masquerading socialist with radical views that he will instill into the minds of us.

Obama will not govern this way. He will be measured, diplomatic and cool with his approach. I se him being tough when need be and being very tactful when need be. This is the embodiment of what a President should be. Not too hot and not too cool. I expect Obama to fulfill his tax cut plan and his embrace of universal healthcare. With so many Americans uninsured, Obama struck the right cord with healthcare plan.

I just cannot believe it. President Obama. Who would have thought? Well, I never doubted. Who would have thought America would turn to a Black man to pull itself out of the ditch. While we are a country who sees race, somehow, today feels a little different than say a few days ago. I don't know why. But it does. And America should be damn proud of itself for making history. Then again, we make history all the time and will continue to do so.
