History Will Be Made
It's about 9:05pm on November 4, 2008. As I sit on the edge of my chair watching MSNBC, I am getting goosebumps. In years to come, I can say I witnessed and was a part of history. I am a proud supporter of Obama and I am ready for a change. No matter who wins there will still be a story to tell when I am older. For once, I am excited about politics. I find myself glued to either to the television or the Internet wondering what is going on with the election. On yesterday, I voted and it felt good. A right that I exercised proudly. Some may say that Barack Obama isn't experienced enough but it isn't about experience with me. It's about your platform and what you believe. I believe that Obama is the change that America needs. OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!

If we drop the politics I think the outcome of the election was necessary for this country, and the whole world as well. I come from a country that was the first in the world to have a female president, and that of course was a pretty big change for everybody (even though the prime minister is in fact the one who controls everything). Still some of my compatriots swagger of it
But I just want to say this about the November 4th election: if this wasn´t about race, then why was this election "historical"? It can´t be only one way. Of course it was about race, but it was also about change. This election was an example of how a country can overcome differences and how that can give people hope, which is a great thing to see.
The thing is, that if no racial issues would exist, then this election would not have been of so great importance to so many people, and I think there is nothing wrong with that in the times we live in. This day had to come, and the sooner the better.
The English Premier League (soccer/football) started a campaign named "kick racism out of football" a few years ago, and nowadays racism is very rare during games. Maybe the same will happen here in the states because life is, just like football, only a game (perhaps a more complicated one?).
