Obama Clinches Nomination

Just in time for summer, Barack Obama will be the Democratic Nominee for President of the United States of America.  To see what I have to think about this, check back after the break.

 In November 2008, an African-American could be elected the next President of the United States.  Just yesterday, I was talking to a WWII African-American veteran that served in an all-black unit.  That was just 65 short years ago.  Real civil rights laws weren’t passed until a mere 45 years ago.  This country has come a very long way in this short time period.  That is why I am so excited that this ended up happening.  I was really worried for the past few months that the Clinton machine would end up stealing this nomination from Senator Obama, somehow, someway.  If you can’t tell, I am kind of like Obama-Girl and have a little bit of a crush on Barack.  This does not mean, however, that I am ready to endorse him as y2kers.com unofficial political pundit.  I really like John McCain.  I have since 2000 when he was trying for the Republican nomination.  I am going to reserve judgement until I see what happens in the upcoming months before the general election.  Regardless of what happens, this is an important moment in the history of this great country.
