“(CNN) — Barack Obama has done what many just a year ago thought was impossible. He took on the most powerful family in Democratic politics and won….. On Tuesday, Obama became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, marking the first time an African-American will head the ticket of a major political party.”

That’s what I’m talkin’ about! This country needs a political shake-up. (And I don’t mean one like what the U.S. government put this country through on 9/11… yeah, I said it….. but that’s a post for another time.) And it’s getting one… on a grand scale. The old school notion that stuffy old (Christian, white) men, who have no idea what is going on out “in the field”, directing this country into a world the way that only they see it, is over. It’s time to retire those “men” and their backwards, old-world, close minded, self serving thinking.

Enter Barack Obama (as well as Hillary Clinton). When the world (OK, the country) was introduced to these two potential candidates, most anyone with a TV, radio, Internet, or a big-mouthed friend or neighbor instantly realized that this election year is absolutely not going to be anything like any previous election year. And unless this country REALLY wants to extend Bush’s term into a third via John McCain, it sure looks like we are about to have the first African-American President in this nations history. Need I even say… it’s about time! This country isn’t primarily old, white, stagnant, and greedy. Quite the opposite: this country is young (2003 US Census Bureau data shows… the median age of a U.S. citizen is 35.7 ), culturally diverse on an unprecedented level,

(The majority of the population of the United States is of European origin, with the largest groups having primary ancestry traceable to the United Kingdom, Germany, and Ireland; many Americans report multiple ancestries. Major racial and national minority groups include blacks (either of US, African, or Caribbean parentage), Chinese, Filipinos, Japanese, Mexicans, and other Spanish-speaking peoples of the Americas. According to the 2000 Census, it was estimated that whites comprised 75.1% of the US population; Hispanics, 12.5%; blacks or African Americans, 12.3%; Asians and Pacific Islanders, 3.7%; and Native Americans [Amerindians—more commonly known as Indians, Eskimos, and Aleuts], 0.9%)(It is supposed that there are about 150 or more ethnic groups in the United States)

dynamic, fluid, and eager to earn our income (as opposed to practically stealing it and causing global conflict in order to pad our pockets), earn the respect of our peers and neighbors (as opposed to demanding it with absolute zero return on that investment), and earn our rightful place in the fabric and history of this nation. It’s high time that someone who represents the true tone of this nation to lead us.

Keep your eyes open and your ears up. The revolution is being televised! (As well as Multicasted, Webcasted, and Podcasted.)
