Barack Obama is the product of a great nation. A man that will not settle for mediocrity for himself, his family or his nation. The People of United States of America should be very proud of this country. This Country has endured every hardship that anyone or anything wants to throw at us and we continue to persevere and move forward no matter the outcome.
