I'm quite confused over the actions of people dancing in the streets and boasting, among other things, about having an "African American" in the white house.     

First, last I checked, it wasn't just African American's who voted for Obama.   Second, I'm pretty sure Obama's heritage is Caucasian and Kenyan.  He's just as much black as he is white.      

I find it odd that neither the local news nor the newspapers have reported on the racial tension in our schools and communities.  We need leaders to come forward and remind everyone that we are all American!  It is the diversified race that makes America what it is.      

He will be "our" President for the next four years and not the president to a specific race of Americans.  Nor, will he be the President just to the middle class, the wealthy or the poor.      

I simply cannot understand why people are more excited about electing an "African American" than they are about electing a president who will best serve the United States of America.  It will be interesting how American's view Obama's policies as he discusses them.  It is my hopes that American's will be just as excited.     

In fact, I confess, I do not know or understand all of his policies myself.  I encourage people to enlighten me.
