"I've got news for you John McCain"

"America, we cannot turn back. Not with so much work to be done. Not with so many children to educate, and so many veterans to care for. Not with an economy to fix and cities to rebuild and farms to save. Not with so many families to protect and so many lives to mend. America, we cannot turn back. We cannot walk alone. At this moment, in this election, we must pledge once more to march into the future. Let us keep that promise -- that American promise -- and in the words of Scripture hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess."

I didn't think that I would see a day, even in my lifetime, that an African American would be nominated by a major party for President of the United States. I was born not very long after the time where black men and women were being lynched in the South for even thinking about voting. Now, not only has a good man been nominated for our highest office--but he's a man of inspirational voice after eight years with one of no voice. Some days it's okay, as President Clinton says, to still believe in a place called Hope.
