Obama gets my vote

I’m pretty stoked about Barack Obama. He’s not a perfect candidate of course, but I’m still fairly excited about him. Here are some of the things I think he could bring:

–at least the potential for some positive change! I feel the beginnings of hope stirring in my heart. Maybe, just maybe, our country can turn a corner?

–having someone in the “White” House who can (and hopefully will) talk about race in a real way. White America needs to wake the f*@# up about how bad things really are.

–having that long line of presidential portraits in the White House, in museums, in encyclopedias, etc. FINALLY include someone besides white men.
