Personally, I believe electing Obama as presidents is an indication that America has come a long ways since the days of slavery and jim crow. It's an indication of progress as well as hope. It tells young African Americans that anything is possible. Finally, we'll be able to stick it to rest of the world (especially Europe) and show them that we don't just talk the talk but that we walk the walk.

We could (could have?) to an extent said the same about electing Hillary. I think I've mentioned it before a while back, but we see electing a woman to be the leader of our nation as some huge step forward but there are/have been woman in charge of countries all over the world for several years. Some of the most promiment nations have had women lead them through major events throughout history (and I'm not talking about royalty)
