Change The World: Barack Obama
I don't think that Time magazine had any inclination as to how important time would be to Barack Obama. Time is a key factor in everything that this man has done. Obama gave his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention for the Democratic Nominee for the Presidency of the United States of America exactly 45 years after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "I have a dream" speech. The dreams and aspirations of all the people that fought for the Jim Crow laws to be overturned, the people that fought for slavery to be abolished, the people that gave their life in hopes that the generations to come will have equality and so many more have finally been realized. From Pharaoh's and Kings to Senator's and Presidents of a nation that once couldn't see a black man as a citizen therefor restricted him from voting. Ladies and gentlemen of America and abroad I now present to you the next President of the United States of America, Barack Obama; a true testament to what time is capable of.
