YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally the United States of America's presidential election has come and gone, and as history has been made, the first Black-American president................Barack Obama has been elected.

After about 21 months of campaigning and all sorts, the 'real' journey is about to start.

All this we have all been hearing for the past couple of hours, but what is really cracking me up is the rate at which people around the world, but most especially black folks, are linking themselves in one way or another to Barack, looking for ties that don't exist.

My friends' profile status on Facebook read all sorts, with things like 'obaming up......', 'whom God has blessed no man can curse Obama has made history, it is time for me to achieve my dreams.', '...congrats Cousin Barack...we knew u'd do us proud'.

A medical intern friend of mine, in the United States, is actually excited because she heard they would be getting monthly stipend and as she put 'since our own is now President... Can't wait! LOL'.

All in all the mood is of excitement, suprise and in some cases uncertainty of what is to come, but what is evident here is that no matter who you are or what you believe in, you can achieve what you want to achieve.YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!
