Nation Radio Show

This broadcast on The Nation radio, regarding the fundamental and progressive change is in store with Obama and what is means to have elected an African American President, is worth listening to. Also interesting is what the journalist brings up about that moment when we see the First Family--Obama, Michelle and their children and how this moment was also essentially highlighting women. The respect that Obama gives his wife and how she stands next to him, as opposed to others who stand behind their husband, says a lot about their relationship and how he feels about women. They also mention that inevitabldy Obama will make decisions that we might not always agree with, but he will work to bring a better good to the country. One commentator in the interview also says that this election wasn't like the 2004 election where we were voting for "the lesser of two evils", we voted for someone who we thought could actually make a difference.
*The broadcast is a little lengthy, but very interesting*
