Why I’m Proud

Obama was just nominated as the presidential candidate for the Democratic party 2008.
As an American and as an African American I am proud, but mostly proud of the American voters who brought this about. Sure I’m proud of Barack Obama himself but he’s just done everything I expect of an extraordinarily committed, good and brilliant public servant. I’m not at all shocked that he was able to accomplish this as an African American because as an African American myself I know first hand how immeasurably capable we are of achieving greatness just as well as anyone else.
The enormous feat today actually gets credited to the millions of Americans who ignored ignorance and got on board. Obama is brilliant because he is awakening the brilliance of all of the American people.
And what’s more, after this convention week, after we get beyond all the feel-goodiness, let’s also remember that he has presented a pretty brilliant plan for propelling America full throttle into the global, competitive, technological and green 21st Century.
