O'Bama Rama

I am constantly amazed with some of things I have seen and lived through in the world that will be in history books for the rest of my life. Sitting through history class you never realize that it's possible to be alive and witness any of the events you learn in your history books. Yesterday was a moment in history that will change our future.
I am not one for politics. Through the years I have purposely ignored elections and anything related to politics because I always believed it was bullshit. I always saw it as people who were hungry for money and power and no one really ever cared about the country. Yesterday that changed for me. I like Obama, I believe he wants a better future for our country. But I also wanted to make sure that I wasn't a sheep following the herd. To many people I meet in my day to day life, don't look at the facts. They get influenced by everything around them and don't make decisions for themselves. I refuse to be one of those people. I don't care that all my friends are Democrats. I don't care that my parents are Republicans. What they believe is what they believe, and nobody can influence me without all the facts. With all that said, passed getting all misty eyed while he spoke again,whether you are Democrat or Republican, Obama made me believe that there is hope in this country's future for change. That the path we are all on right now can only end badly, that we need to unite as a country and show the rest of the world that it is possible. That it is possible to live in a country where everyone is free, people can be whoever they want to be, dreams are not out of reach, and than peace can prevail. It was the most uplifting speech I think I have ever heard, So Kudo's to Mr. Obama for turning a girl with doubt in the world she lives in, to a girl with hope in a future that she will want to raise kids in one day.
