Like more than 38 million other people, I watched Barack Obama make his acceptance speech. One thing that nobody can deny is that he is a great speaker. No matter what you think about his views, you have to give him that much. That speech was so much more than an acceptance speech. He had to start giving specifics about what he planned to do once he got in office. I think he accomplished that. Now he has to get ready for the real heavy lifting as we get closer to November 4Th. I just don't see why Obama hasn't run away with this election. Even Republicans are tired of the Bush administration and four more years of McCain would be the same thing, probably even worse. So why hasn't he run away with it? There are many things working against him. Obama's inexperience is a cause for concern. Until Thursday, he didn't clearly say how he was going to bring change. And of course, he's Black. I'm not naive enough to say that his race is not an issue. He's White also but we all see Black when we look at him. I'm not voting for him because he's Black and I think there are so many people making that mistake. His race doesn't matter to me. He's still a politician and I just don't trust politicians. I'm proud to see him get this far, but he can't let himself be considered a Black president. He has to make himself an extraordinary president. So I hope he makes that happen. Eight is enough....
