Barak Obama wins Democratic nomination
Like millions of Americans tonight I watched Barak Obama win enough delegates to become the first African-American to secure the nomination of the Democratic Party for the President of the United States of America. It made me proud to live to see this day, but sad that it took so long. I presume I will die before it happens, but I also wish I could live to see the day when the first woman, the first Jew or Muslim, as well as the first Atheist could do the same. What makes freedom great is that it allows these types of things to happen, because freedom is truly like a snowball rolling down Mt. Everest. You can’t stop it before it becomes a full-fledged avalanche unless you squash it while it’s still a baseball-sized snowball. This is what political and religious dictators have done throughout history. Denial of freedom and knowledge has been their version of squashing the snowball. I watched all three candidates make their speeches tonight, and listened to their words, and the words of the pundits who followed. Of all the voices I heard, only one spoke of national unity, only one focused more on our similarities as human beings than our differences, and only one convinced me that he was putting us before him. I’m not a super delegate or even a low-life delegate, but I am American, and I do vote. I can think of no other recourse but to vote for that candidate who inspires me, and touches my deepest sense of right. I can think of no other recourse than to vote for that candidate who reaches my most personal emotions, and who I believe is the only candidate I’ve witnessed in my lifetime, who backs his cry for change with the commitment and resolve to pull it off. I know that’s an awful lot to ask of any candidate, because let’s face it, to get to this level of success a Democratic or Republican Party Presidential nominee must be part of the machine we call government. But even if his legacy is no more than a baby step towards change, today marks the day in history that the journey really began. As Barak Obama said tonight, “This is our moment.” That means all of us united, you and me, he and she. Let’s put the “United” back in the States of America. Vote for change. Vote for Barak Obama.
