Destiny is not written for us, but by us! ~ Barack Obama

Let us never forget what we, who helped get this man elected, felt that night one year ago! Some of us might think he is not doing enough, not getting change accomplished fast enough. Our attention span is short, our patience already running out. Never forget the state our great nation was in when Barack Obama was elected President of the United States. Remember the hopefulness all those who voted for him shared, the tears we shed when the polls on the West Coast closed at 8pm Pacific Standard Time and all news channels called the election for this man. A man of great promise, a man that personifies dignity, calmness, and deep thought. A man who will not be pushed into making rash decisions. A man who might try our patience with his deliberate approach to policies that could potentially change the course of our history. A politician admired near and far. A president that received the Nobel Peace Prize in his first year in office solely for what he symbolizes for us and the rest of the world. Think about it! Don’t forget the promise! The excitement we all felt! The hopefulness we shared! And continue to support this man, a president who has been facing and will continue to face one of the toughest challenges in world history.

We, as a Nation as a whole can and should all be proud of what happened that night one year ago today!!! The majority of us made the right choice!!!
