Obama's Mama

Behind every politician is a strong mother. Rose Kennedy, Lillian Carter, to name a few

Obama’s mama had a life like no other. A teenage bride, followed by a divorce or two. She went on to earn a doctorate degree, studying aboard, leaving Barack to be raised by another.

Yet, she instilled in him, a desire too. A strong, independent woman, she worked hard, a white lady going through life with the sisters and brothers. And finally, a late diagnosis, the cancer she couldn’t recover.

She’d be proud, her son, a black man on the brink of history. Knowing he had taken what she taught him about the Land of the Free.

He’s walked in our shoes and has risen through the ranks, and on Election Day we can give him thanks. The Democrats have a tough decision to make; either Barack or Hillary will be smitten. It’s a win, win situation, good riddance to Bush, welcome President Obama or Clinton.

The war must end, too many lives have been lost- Mission Accomplished- whatever the cost.

Mother’s teach life’s hardest lessons, and are close in spirit when we call in need. Just like Obama’s mama, we can all bloom, if only you water the seed.
