Barack Obama Makes Victory Speech in Iowa

(click here to see the video)

I read in the newspaper today (Yes, I still read them!!!) that Barack Obama won the Iowa primary for the Democrats last night. In IOWA? IOWA?? IOWA??? DID YOU SAY IOWA???? Iowa has more voters over 60 than any other state in the union... (fact) and Iowa is a predominately white and conservative state... (not that there is anything wrong with that) I just never expected Obama to do well there. The fact that he did, speaks volumes about America today... It says that at least for now... people can overlook race and color and listen to what someone is saying... That may be politically naive... but, it gives me hope... that at last America is changing and moving beyond it's racist past. That's a good thing!
