The 2008 Election
Resulting from this election is the new President of the United States, Barack Obama. I am not sure what this means for America and myself, though I am aware that he wants to end the war overseas and has all these plans to bring jobs back to the American people. He says he will give tax breaks for the middle class by increasing tax on the the wealthy and larger businesses. He wants to make health care affordable and he feels "pro-choice." I know that America is asking for this big change because of the state of the economy, but the important thing is not what someone tells you, but, instead what they do. I am not sure how I feel about this, but I know people say this is a big step forward by having a black president. I am not racist, but I am prejudice, so I want to know how this "big step forward" has anything to do with running a country.

I found this post very interesting. I agree with you that the race of Barack Obama should not have and does not have anything to do with his presidency and that people should quit worrying about it. Good job.
You made a very good point that I never really took into consideration. Everyone is making such a bid deal about having just elected a black man into the white house and think that all these changes will result but I really see no connection between his race and our economy situation.
yes yes yes, Thankgod someone finally came out and said. i completely agree with you. i am so sick of hearing about his race. He's a president. Like every other president we've had we should be worrying about whether or not he is going to stick to the words that he stated so many times.
