Blog #7 2/22/09

For the blog about change I would like to talk about President Obama and how he is the first Black President in the History of the United States. I read about some of the changes he has made in the online article President Barack Obama. Firstly, Barack Obama is the first Black President ever in the United States. With his election, many people believe that things will be better for the future. No doubt, this is a huge change for America. Many people have had mixed feelings about his becoming president mainly over issues as in "is he really ready?." Moreover, some people opposed him to  being racial. I personally do not think it is acceptable to judge someone based on the color of their skin, but some people apparently still do. Another thing Obama's coming brought is a sense of pride for all the black persons in America, as if he has brought a stronger sense of nationalism to the United States. In addition, his win brought the end of the "Bush" reign and also the end of Republican presidents since the last couple of Elections. Since I am a democrat, I felt very relieved when he won because I just felt so angry that Republicans have been in the office for the last couple of elections. Furthermore, I believe that Barack Obama's wining the presidency has brought about a change of stronger belief in our nation, and more importantly, our leader. As Barack said, "If there is anyone out there who doubts that America is a place where anything is possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer."
