It is a moment in history that a leader has finally come and "We the people" welcome him

Who have been rejected and considered an outcast in America? Who have been down trodden, and oppressed because the rich say you are a nothing? What has caused the rich to turn their backs on the majority that has voted and elected them to be in offices to handle our affairs? And they have the audacity to leave us behind!

It wasn't that long ago when the French, British, and Irish colonies came to America to have freedom from the control of their own Government ways and customs. In addition, the colonies formed a Constitution of laws that they can live by. They were not rich starting off. They found a way to live on the land called America, by enslaving, breeding, killing and slaughtering the American Indians, and hauling in and dispatching Africans for slavery to work and build houses and lands here in the place called America. Further, there were mixed breeding amongst the mixed breed slave masters, and the Africans. This how they got rich; it was off the blood, sweat and tears of others that were not only foreigners from other countries, but foreigners to your controlling customs and ways right here in America.

So, the question lies in why do you who came to America to find peace and plenty, deprive us, a developed brand of illegitimates, and mixed people you caused to be in existence, to have peace, and plenty? There was enough to go around. It was you who lay with us, and not marry our mothers who you enslaved. Now, the whole world is full of mixed breeds, and illegitimate children. There is poverty only known to those that have not. There was no hope for a while for those that sought relief. There was no dream since the last declaration of freedom in the 1960's.

Obama told us an important story that so many of us needed to hear, about his life as a child, born to a white teenage mother and a black father, and that his father left him. Obama was raised by his mother and grandmother, who gave him love, education and hope. Obama was not rich. But, he had support. How many of us experience this? There are many that did not have a mother, or a father, or a grandmother to support and love them, let alone education and hope.

Why did Obama choose to work and fight for those of lower levels of existence? Because, Obama has love and compassion and hope to share among his own kind, to be a father to the fatherless, to be a hope to the mothers that didn't have husbands, to bring support to our widows, and elderly, and to bring better education and health care to the our children.

Obama is inspiration and a guide to many, whether they were white trash, ni*#*@, half-breeds, bastards and the unfortunates of all races, genders, religions and creeds. To hear the voices, and cries of a people that have been rejected, and left behind; to help the injured hurt by an ungrateful government. The tested and tried has identified with Obama, because he has been through something and more than those that had riches passed down from generation to generation in our governments, which chose to work among the aristocrats and the elites. The "Creator" has brought the simple to confound the wise

"There may be leaders, and officials that might say, well, we been through something too, we have represented, and contributed to the American people as well. But, in reflection, it was not what they did for the American people; it was how they did it."

As Jimmy Carter would state, "Democracy is like the experience of life itself, always changing, infinite in its variety, sometimes turbulent and all the more valuable for having been tested for adversity." Far as we are concerned, Democracy is America and America is Obama. Obama has been tested for adversity, in the way he was born thru his heritage, and he has the born ability (hands on experience) that shows true.

"It is not what you have; it is how you have it, and what you do with it."

As Obama has stated "hope is not a bumper sticker, hope is not ignorance, hope is not blind optimism, hope doesn't come easy, you have to work for it. Hope is somebody willing to stand, when somebody has told you no.

Hope is when an "obamican" (Republican) stumps to support a note-worthy cause for the common good of this country, the people and America. This cause is not a Republican thing or a Democratic thing or a battle of the race, and gender thing. This thing is a common cause thing. Democracy is America, and America is Obama.

It is a moment in history that a leader has finally come and "We the people" welcome him.
