After much fanfare and untimely surprises, Barack Obama was declared the official nominee for the Democratic party's candidate for President. There was a crowd of 38,000 supporters there to congratulate him on his win. In spite of his acceptance speech, Hillary Clinton hasn't conceded yet. His campaign rallies are like Usher concerts. That's not the whole country though. What those are is large pockets of disgruntled voters. Ready to do something even if it's wrong. I still think this whole thing is a novelty act. He is riding on an emotional crest being experienced by the American people. They expect this man to be able to do much more than he possibly can. Let's see if this is the shape of things to come. Is this the first of many first.

I wonder why in a certain aspect why everything has to be about race. People are people no matter what their SKIN color is on their bones.
