At this time in history, nations are in awe. People that were once walking with their heads bowed can't help but smile and walk straight up! You have people that used to hate authority praising this man for his breakthrough. You have people that never even registered to vote finally practicing their rights. But, what's in a name? Is it the charisma and tenacity, or simply the color of his skin? Is it the fact that his family is beautiful or the fact that he's intelligent? What is it that changed this nation in a year and/or two? It's amazing how many non-readers are picking up books, magazines and newspapers to capture the moment. Its amazing how this new political craze is like a drug. People are addicted to the highs they received from discussing, watching, listening, or simply consuming this new amphetamine. What's in a name? What's in a slogan?

He is, he was, and he will be a powerful man regardless of the color of his skin. He truly is a man that his character shines through the pores of his skin more than the pigment is visualized.
