Barack In San Antonio

There was a time when most of this country saw African Americans as a stigma this society doesn't care for. Many fought and died for this country, yet his cloths was not fit for washing in a public laundry. This country needed change then more then ever, yet, today we hear that this country still needs change. And we hear this from another African American. And as we hear this message from Barack Obama, this country cannot deny that change is needed.

Today I had the opportunity to invoke my obligation as an American and vote for one who I believe should be the Democratic Nominee for the presidential election. I chose Barack Obama. In the midst of aggressive supportors of the oppositon, I cannot help but disagree with them.

I chose to disagree with them because their opinion and my opinion of change are very different. I cannot in my heart view change, by electing another person named Clinton. Now don't get me wrong. I believed this country was run best when William Jefferson Clinton was in office, but having the Bush's and Clinton's in office for more then 20 years is not change.

In my heart, listening to Barack Obama, I hear someone who champions the underdog. I hear one who would fight for the downtrodden. I hear a charismatic man who wants so much to change this country for the better. I believe in change and I believe that Barack Obama is the man who will bring this change.

I have many regrets. I regret that I did not take the opportunity to attend the Papal visit many years ago. I had the opportunity to hear a great man speak words of wisdom. I chose today to not let that happen again and I paid a visit to the Municipal Auditorium and hear another wise man speak.

I hope that others will hear his message and not let prejudice prevail.
