I thought in my Lifetime that there would be a woman running for President that people would actually take seriously...that happened with Sen. Hillary Clinton. Who among us 'Blacks' could have imagined that a 'Black Man' would be posed to become the next President of the United States? No matter what happens from this point on...Sen. Barack Obama made History on August 27th, 2008! Whether he makes it into the White House or not...WE all have alot of work to do...WE have to become more involved in the Political Game...this is afterall OUR country too!!! ~~We've Come Along Way Baby but...We Still Have So Much Work Ahead of Us~~ We all have to remember that ‘Mother’s’ are the First teachers of Men…to say that a woman can not lead is like saying she didn’t do a good job raising her sons.
