Same here, as a Latino male. To see an African-American as the president of the united states means a lot to me, if Obama can do it. A Latino/Latina can be the a president as well, change has come and thanks to everyone that finally got up and voted for him.
I would support a Mexican-American candidate just as much as a Cuban-American candidate, but I would NOT feel a surge of pride or claim him as my own if he was president.
With that said, I am glad to see a black man as our president, because what it DOES show is that American's can select who they truly believe is the best candidate, regardless of skin color.
But holy shit...McCain is getting his dick sucked seriously by these news anchors. Poor McCain...great speech, heartfelt, kudos to him, what a great job, great campaign, McCain is so classy (rofl)...
