NOW IS THE TIME TO UNITE AND MOVE FORWARD
Current mood: enlightened
Barack Obama was elected the next President of the United States last night.

History, which is full of trials, joys, and everlasting scars, was no doubt made.

Despite what people say against Obama, maybe this is what America needs to finally look past the injustices of indifference and truly unite as ONE nation.

Throughout history, there has been a divide caused by hatred, misunderstanding, and lack of knowledge about one another.

It seemed, as time progressed, that no bridge would ever be long or stable enough to fix that insurmountable gap.

Then, came the U.S. Presidential Election of 2008, and Barack Obama, the very first black President was elected by an amazing majority.

If correct decisions are made and attitudes stay positive, it could be a good thing.

People NEED to unite and show support so that President Obama will feel motivated enough to integrate some real improvements into the U.S.

I know that God had a hand in this election and maybe He decided that now was the time for the U.S., which was scarred by the decisions made by George W. Bush, to take steps in the right direction and work towards healing...

Healing begins when people, regardless of race, ethnicity, or background, realize that they cannot improve without help or positive support and they turn to others for assistance.

This choice can cause a chain reaction which could positively effect countless individuals, which could unite a nation and lead them to desire progression.

Now is the time for America to unite and heal. Now is the time to move forward.

Who better to direct the winds of change than a man who understands and empathizes with persecution, prejudice, and the common struggle for a better quality of life?

Scars of the past may still remain, but those scars can be taken and remembered as the USA moves forward in the journey of healing, united as ONE country.

This is the PERFECT time for race to be disregarded and look at one another as people, all striving on common ground in order to improve ourselves and others.

Hopefully, with President Obama at the helm, the USA can internally become an equal playing field and pass it on to the world....

What is the true potential of the USA?

What is the world's true potential?

It's time to find out....
