I mean the vision of races with equal representation in society. This will help little black children start to beleive it when their mamas say "You can be anything you want to be".
The USA has come a long ways from apartheid being practiced even after Civil Rights legislation, and long term prejudices leaning heavily on minorities.
So in the eyes of the country, though there are some that will hate this, there will be celebration like never before seen. The people celebrating will be of all races/ethnicities.
I see Obama as a Uniter and inspirational leader. Can't wait to see what happens.
I also believe that the world wide acceptance of Obama as President will be much higher than McCain and these days it is very important with relations going down the toilet in countries incl. current allies.
So many hard challenges for either candidate that takes office, but I think Obama has a better plan to start tackling them.
