So far he has proven that he can over come all of the negativity that has been spilled around him because of his skin color. But he also proved that we could rise above racism and elect a black President. In his Inaugural Address he says, “and why a man whose father less than 60 years ago might not have been served in a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath.” Pres. Obama knows that he has just made history in this ever growing nation and will put forth the most effort he will ever exert to prove to the people that not only will he be a good President, but that he will lead our nation into the future of hope and prosperity.
