Even though I am not an American I cant help but feel a bit of the pride America is feeling right now. To be honest I wasn’t sure I was ever going to see a black person in the Whitehouse but now its a reality. And although racism is still a big problem in western countries this day brings a new sense of hope and a new sense of faith in humanity. As a right wing Christian this is the first time I have ever supported a democrat in the US election because I honestly believe Barack Obama was the better man for the job. America badly needed to take a bold step in a different direction and how better to do that then with Barack Obama. That’s not to say that President Obama doesn’t have a massive job ahead of him but I don’t think that there has been this much optimism for an incoming president since JFK.

I am amazed at how many Christians I know that have gotten caught up in the conspiracy theories about this man. I hate to say it but most of these theories are coming from the far right of the republican party. The part of the republican party that can’t stand to lose let alone be forced to come to the realization that the republican party as it stands now is in desperate need of an overhaul.

On a separate note can I just say how cool the new custom made presidential Cadillac limo that has been dubbed “the beast” is. This massive bullet proof limo is a one of a kind and is actually sitting on the chassis of a Chevy truck, pretty impressive stuff.

It is a great time in history to be alive and I can almost picture Dr. Martin Luther King looking down on all of this with tears of Joy in his eyes. What a great day in modern history, we really have come a long way.
