As I Live and Breath

Well, if Fox news threw in the towel it is time. Before dawn I will remove my bumper sticker and yard sign. I can admit defeat, it is nothing worst than a compact car with a dirty Gore bumper sticker driven by some loser living in their mom's basement waiting for a Florida recount, get over it. I promise not to spend the next four years trying to under mind the new administration. This the greatest place on the planet to be born especially if you are poor, we are not perfect but if you are willing to work hard you can do anything. Growing up in the ghetto I overheard adults in 1980 say that if Reagan was elected we (blacks) would be slaves again and 28 years later I am living in a great community with a son named Reagan, that's progress. I know that I have some emails, phone calls and text messages headed my way bragging about our new president, bring it on. My mother worked hard to send us to Catholic schools which required short plaid skirts on the westside of Chicago, I can take any verbal abuse. I am not shocked by the election outcome because of his bi-racial status, I knew America was capable of electeing a non-white president, I am shocked because of what this person believes. Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it. The USA has some ugly blemishes in it's past but it has also made great strides to correct the wrongs....America was built on rugget individualism, hard work and freedom. God Bless this country and keep us safe from those that intend us harm in any and every way.
