25 years ago today, President Barack Obama was the first black student elected to preside over the Harvard Law Review.
He was interviewed for the first time publicly...who knew then that he was destined to be the first Black U.S.
President??
Here's to those Hundreds and Thousands of not just Black, but Latino, Asian and Women with at least equal talent waiting in the wings for their shot!

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"
DEAR GOD: My heart is heavy with my own failures. I try to excuse them and explain to myself why they occurred, because I want to be free from the feeling that I am unworthy and incapable of being all that I can be. But I find it easier to accept your forgiveness than to forgive myself. When I try to forgive myself, it seems I only remember and re-play my failures in my mind, and a sense of hopelessness floods over me. Help me to know that my past actions are a part of my growing humanity and that even when I fail to live up to what is your will for me, every single moment can be lived anew. Remind me that refusing to forgive myself only keeps me from experiencing that newness. Assure me of the truth that by casting “my sins into the depth of the sea”, you have freed me to discard them myself and live the next moment as if it were my first, for indeed it is. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.

I love my President!
We are indeed fortunate that he is our president.
He is indeed an amazing person.. hope many talented people will be able to have these opportunities.
He's gone on to be a great president --- even greater because he's had to deal with such mean spirited, determined to oppose him no matter what, Republicans. They will end up doing themselves and their party in!
Among all various things that he gets, he knows well the universal law of being grateful. I'm proud he is my President.
I love My President!
What a journey... And an inspiration.
I feel blessed that our President is such a remarkable human being. The filth that Republicans have inflicted upon him is exclusively a reflection of them and will stick with them, and only them, forever. Trust me, their filth will be in all the history books. So, today's Republicans, their children, grand children, etc. will be able to read about their disgrace & filth for years to come. Thank you President Obama for being the incredible man that you are. You have made many of us so proud.
I'm so proud..I could just throw my panties!
