Again, we are not going to talk about how we voted on this blog, because thats not what we are doing here. However, I am excited to say this: As the future mother of a non-white baby I am thrilled to be able to tell my child that a non-white person can hold the highest office in the land. I also think it is a great legacy for mixed race families that our President Elect, Barack Obama, hails from an interracial family. He had grandparents, who he dearly loved, who were not the same race as him. When strangers saw him with his mother they did not assume that they shared the same cultural heritage. Yet, he loves his family and has become a strong, independent man who has achieved huge things in his young life.
Regardless of all political structures, I think it is exciting that America has FINALLY elected a minority and I think it is especially exciting that he speaks positively about his mixed race family.

I am so glad to find another mom who gets it. Really I am, especially another Holt Mom.
