Change in America

I, too, want change in America. We didn't vote Obama into office because of his color. We voted him in because we share his dreams for America. Yes, for America -- not for the color of skin -- for America. Some media and certain shows are playing this up as though it was a racial contest. No such thing! One voter was interviewed and commented, "This is like the civil liberties..." fought in the '60's. Obama was voted in to maintain America's freedom - not for just Black people but for all its people. The media needs to stand back and play down skin color and show Obama's strengths, intelligence and leadership. One of the most historic events can turn into a 3-ring circus if we're not careful.

Wow. Beautifully and succinctly stated.

I agree. Colin Powell's comments were well spoken- He's a transformational figure who happens to be an African-American.
