I think it is a good thing that Barack Obama became the first African American president. I am not sure what point he was at when he chose a Republican VP but do toi think Biden pushed this idea because he didn't think Obama would make it very long? One thing I don't like about how the votes turned out is the reason a lot of people voted. People that have never voted came out to vote for Obama. Why? Just because he was an African American. They could care less about what he believes and what he is about, as long as he was a black president. I have never seen so many people lied up for an election. Congratulations to Barack Obama and i hope he does good.
