"Throughout the first year of this campaign, against all predictions to the contrary we saw how hungry American people were for this message of unity."
I believe Barack Obama's illustration of his path to presidental candidacy to be an historical one. The people of America was in search of a new coalition, one that was ultimately impossible in the past. Thie new coalition would bring about unification of all races despite the odds. The people of America have restrained their racial grievances in order to accept a presidental candidate who would not otherwise be worthy to serve as president.
I chose this quote because it illustrates the progress of America. Race is often a predominant factor in most political affiliations however, Barack Obama overcame this impeding obstacle by being in the right position at the right time. The tragedy of 911 along with the many other disasters that have plaqued America has called for a new world order. One of peace and unity. Barack Obama is the perfect one for the job because not only is he one of the most intelligent presidents this country has ever had he's also a peaceful one.
I completely agree with the reason on why the quote was choosen. President Obama is one of the mos peacefull leaders of this country, the ability he has to make everyone feel this is admirable.
