OBama For Ya Mama

So it's official, the 44th President of the United States is Barack Obama. I have never been so proud to be not only an American but an African American in my life. Today I went to lunch and was totally ok that I was the only black person for miles. Why? Because the President is black.



I want to take this time to speak out to all my young brothers out there. Please take a long, hard look at Barack Obama and what he has built. Recognize the fact that he wouldn't be in this position without the love, respect and hard work of Michelle Obama. A woman he calls his rock, his best friend and is proud to call his wife. The man and woman have accomplished what no other black couple has been able to and this should be a lesson to all of you. Every single one of you that makes excuses as to why you're not ready to commit. Because your baby mom is crazy (because I NEVER knew the meaning of 'crazy baby mom until this weekend) or because you're constantly chasing paper, look what you could've accomplished had you slowed down and took the time to build something with a wonderful woman who you probably let get away. You could be anything, even President of the United States. You have no idea how many times men say 'I'm focusing on my career' or 'I need to finish school'. President Elect was a law intern when he met Michele and knew he needed her to accomplish his dreams. Sis held it down while he did his political thing, gave the man two beautiful babies and look where that has gotten her. She's been quoted as saying that she told him if his run for Senator didn't work, that was it, she wasn't doing it anymore. Get it Shelly, let him know.

Hopefully, this presidency not only means good things for the county but it will redefine the black family and cause some of these statistics to go down and the result will end in more positive role models for black children. Everybody wins.

So please take heed, and from this point on keep your eyes open for 'the one' and what you meet her, ask yourself 'could this woman be my Michelle'?

So proud to be an African American these days.....
