The President Elect is: BARACK OBAMA


Riding down the street to cover the election watch party held by the McCain campaign I heard screaming and shouts coming from cars. Horns were being held, people were hanging out of their cars and "change" was chanted. I knew at that very moment: Barack Obama won the election.

Racing to my computer to get the breaking news, I was side tracked by Young Jeezy's song, "My President is Black." I don't know if he foreshadowed something many didn't see, but what ever the circumstance is Barack Obama won and many people are going crazy nationwide.

In CNN's projection, Obama won 338 to McCain's 155 electoral vote.


History has been made. It will be a night of celebration for most.

" The dream is still alive," one person chanted. A text message fled my inbox saying: "Rosa sat so King could march. King marched so Obama could run. Obama ran so you can fly.

Weather you were for McCain or Obama, change begins with you. Put on your gear and fly to your own destination. Make this term about you...the people. The government should be for the people and by the people, and it will be with your help.

Country first or last. Change good or bad....You make it happen.
