November 4th marked the day as the day that our generation will go down in history for many firsts. Not only did the USA elect a new president, he is our new and first black president. Obama definitely won the hearts of the young and old cross the nation and his campaign for change really did impact everyone who believes he can turn this country around for the better. The American Dream seems finally achievable with the new elect president and during his acceptance speech in Chicago, he recognized one woman in particular who has lived to see change happen. There is a 106 year old black woman, living in the south, who has seen the days when blacks couldn't vote, when women couldn't vote, and when Martin Luther King, Jr. died fighting for blacks' rights. This lady has seen change happen even when thought imaginable and impossible to happen. I think it is very humbling to see Obama recognize this and be even more passionate about his campaign promises to change for the better. Here is a clip from his speech recognizing that one incredible lady.

I completely agree. When I heard his speech it moved me. It was a great way to start off his presidency. Just goes to show how good of a speaker he can be and how well he delivers his message. Not many can do this, but Obama can, and the man is good. :)
