Yes We Can

I hate to focus on the race issue, but it is there and must be addressed. The United States of America has elected a true African-American as the next President. I don't mean a black man, but an African-America - The son of a Kenyan and an American.

Some have pointed out that we call him black, but he has a mixed heritage. Many of us are in the same classification and are called by our skin color. I like to think of my President as an American. He is of mixed heritage, raised by a single mother and sometimes by his grandparents, he has a multicultural family and an interesting political background.

I have trust and faith that we are moving forward in the world view, we are breaking some of the barriers that have existed for centuries and my hope is that we become a better country for it.
