The 1st African American as President means to me the nation has had a rude awakening by finding out the African American determination can no longer be underestimated or discounted. For this is the day that ALL Americans can sing out-loud with true conviction, "My country, ’tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.”

A thunderstorm is a type of storm that generates lightning and thunder. It is usually followed by heavy precipitation. These storms occur when high levels of condensation form in a volume of unstable air that generates deep, rapid, upward motion in the atmosphere. Our economy is currently in a state of un-stability and we are in deep debt trying to bail out the auto industry. But, we can now hold our head in an upward motion because we know the American people has spoken and our voices have been heard throughout the atmosphere.

President-elect Barack Obama came as a thunderstorm and like a lightning bolt; he shook the foundations of our nation by becoming the 1st African American President of the United States. And now, we the people can look outside our windows of despair at the heavy precipitation of “Change” that has come.
