History is made

by now we all know that history has been made. the first black president. i honestly never thought it would happen in my life, now we just need a woman one, right? and not that it REALLY matters if hes black or white, skin color has no bearing if he can lead our country. so lets all, no matter your party affiliation, join and support him. give him a chance to do what he says. and for those who voted "just because he is black" you voted for the wrong reasons, same as those who voted for clinton b/c they liked his hair.
now, to all those who did vote for Obama, like me, lets all agree to do the opposite of everyone i know who voted for bush. what i mean is the following: if Obama screws up and we all end up hating him (ie. Bush) lets admit we screwed up. we thought he would do a good job, but he didnt. everyone i know that wanted bush, and no hates him, will NOT admit they screwed up. admit you made an honest mistake. but since he is not officially in office, and thus cant screw up yet, GIVE HIM A CHANCE!
now, we have a black man in the highest office in the country, if not the world, and office once thought by, and told to black children that it was not possible. he proved it wrong. therefore do away with affirmative action. it did serve its purpose, but now is not needed. if you wont do away with it, then make things fair for whites and others. it is sad when a white family makes $x and a black family makes the same $x and both apply for food stamps yet the black family gets more, sometimes way more. i PERSONALLY know people who were told they couldnt get more b/c they were white. and my wife was told we made too much for WIC the first time around b/c we were white. (implying that if we werent we would be ok) so, if you wont abolish affirmative action, make food stamps, wic, welfare, and the likes fair and open to all those who need it. even whites struggle to make ends meet, and barely scrape by. by saying just b/c we white we have it easier, is like saying a black man is not as good, which no one sane thinks. and Obama proved it.
