When i heard for the first time that Barack Obama is one of the presidential candidates for Democratic Party ...i was surprised... a black man or a person of mixed race trying to become president of United States? Will Democrats endorse him as their candidate?. but i could find that he was moving ahead of Hilary in all aspects and was officially selected as the nominee of Democratic party for their presidential race.
When Obama and Macain was campaigning i wasn't convinced whether he can make a difference, but day after day when i follow media i could find that his race was never a problem for Americans. Am happy about that.. America has changed a lot... they are willing to select a non white as their president.
Its a dream come true for Martin Luther King. Am sure he is watching all thease from heaven :). he will be so happy that American people have changed to such an extent that they are ready to accept a non-white president.
Reminds me of Martin Luther Kings famous speech "I have a Dream" in which he says
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood."
Isn't it time for us to say that his dream had come true?.
Congrats Obama..
