A New Decider

摘要

Like most E readers, I'm sure, I'm incredibly excited about the prospects of a President Obama taking office on January 20, 2009-also the day George W. Bush leaves office, a fact alone that should make it a national day of remembrance. It should be a slam-dunk for Obama if all we've witnessed 'til now is any indication of how people will vote this November. What heartens me most is the huge number of African Americans who for the first time in many years feel a sense of hope. I've marveled at the many news segments featuring black Americans talking about how excited they are about the Obama campaign. And I'm sure many others who have felt disenfranchised in the past will be showing up at the polls this year.
