There are other reasons to celebrate the election of this citizen of Chicago, the only one ever elevated to the white house.

I wish our soon to be President Obama to be the best President he can be despite of the challenges he’ll inherit from our current administration.

We also need to be patient as we we go through these rocky roads. We may go through some difficult times but there’s always hope.
