Obama, the Baraka "Blessing"

I think I have become not only a fan, but a self-appointed praise singer. LOL! But really, he who does the admirable will naturally be admired. See how ma'am Winfrey's clutching Obama's hand, the look; a show of wonder mingled with approbation that with all the inequality, segregation, discrimination, deprivation, and the conspiracy to reduce the minority to lowliness and submission, this black man from a multicultural upbringing has risen amongst us, requiring no other proof, argument or explanation of the fact that all men are created equal.

Here's "Hope" embodied. A man who refused to be limited by his given identity, elected President of the United States, changed not only the complexion of the White House but to a great extent the direction, evidenced by his many "heroic firsts." He broke records, tried the untried, rewrote history, and ruled like I wish he could be given another four years. He's created leadership initiatives across the globe, raised expectations, refuted the prejudice that black folks are anti-education and anti-achievement, and continually ensuring that he's not just "The One," but one of many who are as good, who just need the chance to take a shot. Here's greatness!
