Published by Pamela Gentry on Thursday, November 13, 2008 at 9:37 pm.

The transition office for President-Elect Barack Obama released the following statement:

“It has been one of the highest honors and privileges of my life to have served the people of Illinois in the United States Senate.  In a state that represents the crossroads of a nation, I have met so many men and women who’ve taken different journeys, but hold common hopes for their children’s future.  It is these Illinois families and their stories that will stay with me as I leave the United States Senate and begin the hard task of fulfilling the simple hopes and common dreams of all Americans as our nation’s next President,” said President-elect Barack Obama

I am so proud to be an African American young lady. Obama is the perfect example of how my generation should be. I will enjoy these four and hopefully eight years of Obama presidency. I will be in college fall 2009 and I am excited to see how Obama being in office will help education become better.

I’m very happy to be apart of history. I’m proud that my young black brothers and sisters got out and voted to make this happen. I would like to also thank the white voters for believing in us and a black man to be president of united states of america. They did not give us the forty acres in a mule, they gave us fifthy states in a white house. You go obama and michelle. I wish u guys while. And I hope u guys find a dog for your beautiful daughters.

It feels good to know that this world we live in is not as corrupted as one would think, now we have our first African American President, this proves that this great nation has grown to become one.

I am not black but love the ideas Obama bring to the table. I surely voted for him. Let’s remember not to get off track and get all “black powered”. Obama’s victory has nothing to do w/ black Americans.
