Wordful Wednesday ~ President Obama
![]() |
This is my son's second time attending an election with me. |
If you have been sleeping under a rock, another "rock" won the election for a second term– President Barack Obama.
The reactions and emotions were mixed on social networking.
Some remarks were downright hateful.
Others were optimistic.
A lot were celebratory.
I did not expect anything less, but I was hoping for more.

NO ONE CAN FIX THE WORLD ALONE.
It takes a group effort, just like a school project.
Even if you do not like the members in your group or their ideas, you will all get the same grade. So, it's best to contribute your ideas (VOTE) instead of your ignorance (hateful comments).
For those of you who want to skim over the issue of race and the election, that is your right. However, we all know that the amount of disdain for this MIXED president is elevated by the fact that his skin color is brown.
It is sickening.
Distasteful.
Embarrassing.
Do not ask me if I voted for my party because the candidate is black. To that I ask, "Did you NOT vote for him because he is black?"

I do not choose my friends or the people I associate with based on their political beliefs. I foster those relationships based on the amount of dignity and respect they demonstrate in times of opposition.
If Mitt Romney was deemed fit to serve as President of the United States, the American people would have voted him into office. One group alone is not powerful enough to achieve this. The blacks (or browns) did not all vote for President Obama either. Each person that filled out a ballot chose the candidate that was right for them.
...and the results are in (well, almost all of them).
The President of the United States of America is Barack Obama.
