PATEL: A New Dawn Breaks
“If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy – tonight is your answer.” President Barack Obama
I woke up this morning in a country transformed. I woke up this morning, truly an American for the first time in my life. What happened last night, what WE, together as a nation of “young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled” did last night will stay with me forever.
I will tell my children and my grandchildren about the night that America lived up to its ideals, a night when the world’s eyes were upon us and we looked straight back at them and, with unyielding conviction said, “YES WE CAN.”
Last night, America recognized a cause bigger than itself and answered the call.
If this campaign is any indication of the power, the hope and the change this country has been thirsting for for 8 years, we have a LOT of work to do. But we will “roll up our sleeves” alongside a leader who has and will continue to inspire us beyond our own expectations.
Suddenly, the impossible is possible. The unlikeliest story has unfolded before our eyes. America, in one fell swoop, has redeemed itself to the world. The democracy that was turned into a nightclub burlesque on the global stage has turned itself inside out and granted itself an opportunity for the “new dawn of American leadership.”
We have found ourselves, quite intentionally, on the right side of history.
For everyone who was a skeptic, who thought America wasn’t ready, all those whose mantra remained “I’ll believe it when I see it,” I have only this to say:
OPEN YOUR EYES.

I am a Nigerian and have this to say, ain’t no mountain high, ain’t no sea so deep; there is nothing you cannot achieve if you try, put your trust in God and you will see.
Congratulations Mr President.

***Congratualtions Mr.President–You and Your Family truly have God’s Favor surrounding your lives***And through this presence you are touching so many lives;instilling the needed hope to our lives,our country, and the world at large. God is so Wonderful, and in His Words,He said,”If only we have the faith of a mustard seed”well thank God you had that faith!!You have been a man of humility from the beginning overcoming challenges and defeating all odds with a newness of triumph!!There is so much that I could say, but I will end this comment on this note. I am so proud to be an American an under the leadership of someone who understands my life;someone who understands the importance of Change and someone who desires Unity for all mankind and most of all you have this calmness about you that just simply makes one think about how calm and confident Jesus was when He was on earth. So many challenges to face and He came to the world to make a change. Mr.President, Jesus was a wonderful example how we should live our lives. And all who listen to you and watch your charisma;it’s those Christlike Mannerism that draws so many to Your Platform!!I pray that God will continue to bless you and your family and keep you all safe. Mrs. Obama you are such a remarkable woman;one that defines the strength of a woman;you will surprise the world with your tenacity and ability to take on all the challenges facing you with balancing your familys’ lives. It comes from within–yes Mr. President was right to say that you are the Rock of the Family, I believe that with all my heart and I don’t know you personally but I see the love in your eyes whenever we see pictures and interviews about you and your family.
