MLK A Day of Reflection/ A Day to Move Forward

Looking back, I wonder if MLK would have been alive today, would he have been indeed our first Black president? I get chills thinking about what could have been for our country. I have been a die hard Republican for many years, but this past year... actually several years, I have lost faith in the Republican Party. When I first heard of Obama, I happened to be watching Ophrah Winfrey way back in the early stages before he announced his candidacy. I was intrigued, impressed, even hopeful and inspired. Something I hadn't felt for a very long time. When Obama announced his candidacy, I was thrilled. Even more thrilled as he defeated McCain. Not that I dislike McCain, but Palin... OMG. McCain definitely made the wrong choice in that one. His true trump card should have been Ms. Rice. Now that would have been a very interesting election. Now that Obama is elected, I like many others, are hopeful in that he can turn this country around and make it a great nation as it once was.
