Considering that the first time I visited the county where I’m now living, we were still living in the era of separate fountains, restrooms, and schools and the elected sheriff made no secret of his Klan sympathies, I never imagined that I’d have the opportunity to help deliver Florida to Barrack Obama.
Honestly, I hoped, but I never truly believed that I’d have the opportunity to vote for an African-American who had won the nomination of one of the major political parties. And I never dared hope that I’d live to see the African-American candidate for whom I’d voted become the president-elect.
But it has happened and I have cried tears of joy.
And way to the north, Pelham Parkway thanks you.
My vote was added with yours here in New York.
Living in England I kept hoping and just kept jumping for joy when Obamah won the election. For so long Americans living abroad have felt ashamed of their president and now we can hold our heads up high. We finally have a representative with a brain! I was so proud that he was elected I thank everyone who voted for him.
