President Elect

I know this has nothing to do with technology but it has enough warrant to be in my blog. A new beginning, a historical night, and something that I could talk to my kids about.

Barack Obama is finally the President of the United State of America. A trip that has taken him 2 years or so to accomplish, a feat that many say he is the first black President. Some of my friends and other people tell me that he is not the first black President of the United State but the 8th black President of the United State America. Emmanuel, my cousin, told me that John Hanson was not only the first black President of the United State (1781-1782 A.D), but the first President. George Washington was really the 8th President of the United State, meaning that there were six other Presidents after Hanson and before Washington! I know that John Hanson of Maryland was the first ‘President of the United States in Congress Assembled’, even though it was only for one-year, but is that not the same. Maybe George Washington was the first President of the United States and the others were also President (The Confederate States of America) but before the United States of America were assemble. I don’t know too much about History, certainly not enough to merit a decision like this. Controversial will arise if not already, but it will be good to know if Barack Obama is the First Black President of the United State of America…Or not?
