It goes beyond the color of his skin...

So I was on facebook, and noticed that there were quite a few people that weren't excited about what happened today. People were upset because the fact that his mother isn't white wasn't mentioned. People were saying that all the hoopla is just because Obama is black. Well for me, it goes beyond that... To me, today means we are one step closer to being one. I know where he came from and who his parents are, and I thought that this would bring us one step closer to stop seeing people for the color of their skin, but apparently not. Why can't people see that America is excited that NOW you can be purple, pink , red, yellow, and inspite of your heritage, and how you were born into this world, you too can be the President of the United States. Does it hit me a little more because my son relates his skin to the color of Obama's? Absolutely it does, but I would've still been excited if he was hispanic. Do I agree with EVERY SINGLE THING Obama stands for... Probably not, but our world desperately NEEDS change, and Obama is someone who is willing to except the challenge. What hurts me the most as a Christian, is that there are people out there who say they love Jesus and believe in what he stands for, yet they are out there judging people who are excited about the future. Who are you to judge? We don't all have to agree on what we feel is right or wrong, but we all must live with love and understanding in our hearts. Was I happy with our last president? No, but yes I agree that he should have been shown a little more respect. He did what he believed was right, whether I agree with that or not, he was the President of the United States, and deserves that respect. Let's just be excited for what's to come, and keep Obama in prayer, he will need it. We are one...
