"THAT ONE!"

It should be quite clear and well known

by now that we(black folks) have strong

backbones.

We have overcome.

We have beat many of odds and won

considering the obstacles set before us.

We have taken what was meant in a

negative tone and made it a positive many

of times beginning from the days of slavery ~

singing spiritual hymns to get us through.

You see, Barack Obama was born to be

"THAT ONE!"

For he's the essence of Testimonial Humble

Accomplished Triumphant Odyssey

Notable and Eligible.

A soul who in the midst of time from young

boy to adult dreamed of being in this position.

Through the years realized that he was capable.

Looked in the mirror and told himself, "I CAN

do this ~ I WILL do this!"

Believed with a drive of passion and determination

that could never be defined by any dictionary.

Put his heart and soul into it like grandma's hands

in a Sunday after church dinner.

He's like music.

The sound of a song that ears have been desiring

to hear for a long time.

He's no longer dreaming! ~

He's no longer realizing!

He's now reality in the making and long overdue!

He's beyond Change!

And with a guarantee, he's "THAT ONE!" that WE

THE PEOPLE SO STRONGLY NEED!
