Obama was elected on the basis of his speeches. He had the ability to make you come and listen to his speeches like it or not. You never went to a church, and the priest tried to convince you that God created woman to his own image, and from the woman ribs, he created man. He convinced you enough so that you went the second time to listen to him. Obama did the same thing, he kept on bringing them to his speeches to the point where they would have believe anything he would have said, and promises that he will keep. Did the people that voted for him expected a new promise land with lots of changes. Time will tell. And if he doesn’t deliver, he still made it thru the race card. And the changes he was talking about, was about him. The first African-American to become president.And that’s how I saw it. The first black family in the white house. President Obama, and First Lady Michelle, and their two daughters. And that’s the only thing I saw. I imaging seeing the First Family on the steps of the white house, and said to myself, not yet. I went for McCain.
