As the possibility of change becomes a reality with the historical win of BARACK H. OBAMA as our 44th President and the first African-American president in the history of America, I want to take this moment to honor his accomplishment, all the ideals that I believe emphatically that he stands for and the HOPE he has inspired in all of us that America CAN be different. I watched the crowds in Grant Park, Chicago, nationalities of all colors, ages celebrate his victory and it was BEAUTIFUL!!!!
What I want is a family that is transmitting the values I inherited, the values that Michelle inherited to the next generation, hard-work, honesty, self-reliance, respect for other people, a sense of empathy, kindness, faith . . .
"The only time I ever saw my mother really angry was when she saw cruelty, when she was somebody being bullied or somebody being treated badly because of who they were and if she saw me doing that she would be furious; and she would say to me, Imagine standing in that person's shoes, how would that make you feel. That simple idea, I'm not sure I understood it when I was a kid but it stayed with me."

Every Generation we have to work on behalf of the next generation, to make sure the world is better for them . . . . You know one person's struggle is all of our struggle. We recognize ourselves in each other
