The success of Barrack Obama is not only surprising, but ultimately shocking. I for one am very proud of our nation to come to a point where anyone and everyone whom is born in this country can be anything and everything that he or she wants to be. It is our time now to grow, heal and come together as a nation and solve many issues that have been a thorn in the side of every American citizen from terrorism to the economy. To the reality that many decisions that have been made has created such a ripple effect to other issues.

He sees the struggles of Americans during such an economic drawdown with fuel prices and home mortgages, that he sees a need for change. Let us talk about his campaign stronghold for change for just a second. With his charisma, and a presentation of change, he has really won most Americans over. What is he wanting to change? The government at hand, which has been lead by presidents from the same two familes since 1988. America is tired of the Bush's and has grown old of the administration as we have seen it in the last eight years. We have grown wiery of the "do nothing" congress and we are seeking
