\"obama.jpg\"<\/a>It’s unofficial at this time but it looks like Obama has won NC by the narrowest margin of any Presidential candidate in history.\u00a0 And thankfully there is no disputing he won nationally, in a landslide.<\/p>\n

This morning Connor got up and Amy told him Barack Obama won.\u00a0 I didn’t think he knew who Obama was.\u00a0 His response to her was “I told you John McCain didn’t win”.\u00a0 Amy then informed me they had a mock election in Kindergarten and Connor voted for Obama, who apparently also won the popular vote of the East Wake Academy five year-olds.\u00a0 Now it’s official.<\/p>\n

Only in America can a country experience one of the greatest attacks on any nation by a man named Saddam Hussein and seven years later select our first minority named Barack Hussein Obama to the highest office in the world.\u00a0 As a nation we have been deceived, misguided and thrown into economic chaos by a President and administration farther out of touch with their constituency than any in US history.\u00a0 Is still have little sympathy for those who chose by ballot to have it happen for a second Bush term in 2004.\u00a0 I may never get over that.\u00a0 Hopefully this sends a clear message that we have chosen to redeem ourselves by doing what is right for our nation, our children and the world.<\/p>\n

I saw one supporter with a sign in Chicago last night that I really thought summed it up.\u00a0 It read:<\/p>\n

“Hang on. – Help is on the way. – Obama 01\/20\/2009”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I even saw a little admiration for Obama from Carl Rove on Fox News last night.\u00a0 At the beginning of Bushes first term he claimed Bush to be “A Uniter, not a Divider”.\u00a0 Remember that?\u00a0 Well we finally have the real deal.\u00a0 43% of white voters cast their ballot for Obama.\u00a0 That’s the highest percentage for any Democrat in US history.\u00a0 That 43% of white voters comprised 64% of the total votes for Obama.\u00a0 This was not a minority elected President.\u00a0 He is a minority who was elected President.\u00a0 And he was clearly chosen by the majority of us.<\/p>\n

It’s like we finally have our adult supervision back at a time when we desperately need it.\u00a0 It’s been a long time since any of us could say we have a true leader in the free world.\u00a0 More importantly we now have a leader we can proudly send among many others throughout the world.\u00a0 That’s how important this election was.\u00a0 We may have finally gotten it right America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
