On Tuesday I listen to President Obama, take his oath to be our 44th President. I was working, I was happy to learn my manager was as interested in the event as I was, so we listened in the back room of the store to the event on the radio. It was a good speech, we all know by now that the man is an excellent speaker; I was thinking how normal it all seemed. It is a history-making event to have an African American taking the oath of the Presidency, but simply it is the right man for the job at the right time.
Since Obama is from right here in Illinois I had many opportunities to see him interviewed and whenever he was asked if he would run for the office of the President I felt as though I wanted him to say yes. I think it is even more perfect that he is of mixed race. I have often thought that as the world becomes more and more global, humans will mix races more and more and soon there will be fewer lines. I say fewer because there will still be regional and economic divisions. If you think about it, humans have the power to change the world around them in a very short period of time. So what could be next?
