when did god have time to help barack study?

alright, its the day after Obama has taken office and we are all changed. cant you feel it? i don't feel it, but that is neither here nor there, because god has brought Obama to this place in history.

let me explain, while watching the inauguration coverage i noticed on more than one occasion, that people of all races and colors were thanking god for bringing Barack Obama to his rightful place as president. now, don't get me wrong, i have no problem with people having faith to help them get through tough times. but, it was not god who stayed up all night studying. it was not god who pushed Obama to be more than most thought he could be. it was not god who trod the path of most resistance to pave way for a black man to become president. as a matter of fact, i say, if god truly existed a persons skin color, financial standing, schooling (to some extent), or religious affiliation wouldn't matter.

but it does. that is why its so monumental that a black man is president. that is why in many polls, more people would rather vote for a black man or a woman than a Jew. the only group less likely to get voted in would be a gays.

so i say, thank you Barack Obama. thank you for studying so hard. thank you for being more than just a man with an education who works for a big firm somewhere. thank you to your family and friends for pushing you to be more. and do more. thank you for not just being an American, but for being a human. a human being who lives on a planet with a lot of other people who may not always agree with you but deserve your respect none the less. but i also say thank you for having faith. because sometimes we all need to have faith in something more than just all this around us. but faith can never make us better people, only our deeds can do that.

thank you Barack Obama, now get to work and stop all the dancing.
