Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama

It is official, history's most groundbreaking presidential primary is over and we have a nominee. And I have to say I'm really proud, proud of the country and the democratic party.

In college I was a resident assistant in the dorms, part of our training covered inclusion. During one particular exercise we were asked which we thought was most likely to happen in our lifetime, a woman, black man, guy man, or asian man becoming president. I put together a list, but in my head I thought, I will never see any of these things happen. And in the very next election I was proven how wrong I could be. I realized that my attitude contributes to the notion that these things can't happen. All you need is one person (in this case 2) two go forth and try. Just try, and you never know what can happen.
