A Letter To President Elect Barack Obama

November 5th, 2008 | By Sonnie Johnson

Dear President Elect Obama

You did it. Whoa. I can do nothing but congratulate you on your success. You showed everyone how an election could be won fighting for every vote. Tomorrow, I will once again become your critic, but today, Today I will Love your efforts and my country.

I disagree with you greatly on policy. But that is a single voice drowned out by the Millions that seek change. I can not and will not fight that. You campaigned hard, gave the people hope, and they came out in droves to elect you to the highest office in the land.

Your impact on history is nothing more than outstanding. My daughter will one day teach her children about your success. And I am so grateful for that. Black men and women got excited about the political process and for that I’m thankful.

You are my president too. And I look forward to watching you write history.
