wonderful people, apart from the lessons about the way elections can be conducted, the biggest lesson we can learn is that of Obama- the skinny black kid with the funny name, who before age 50 became the first black president of the usa- so YES WE CAN! he defied all odds, all, of them, race, age, upbringing, everything. this begs the question, if america after over 200 years of elections and racism can usher in such changes, what is stopping?!
