So, as everyone already knows, Obama is now our new president.
I have been really getting into this election.
In my PIG class (participation in government) my teacher has been making us watch elections & we have spent more then enough time talking & sharing our opinions on the subject. After watching many elections I decided I really, really like Obama. I think he is a great man & will do our country good. Now this doesn't mean I dont't think McCain is a good man either. He is, but he seems to be following in Bush's foot steps alot, & i'm not too fond of Bush.
I am very proud of Obama, & i think hes going to make a fantastic president for us.
I am also really proud of all the Americans out there who voted for him. 60% of the people who voted for Obama were white, this means alot to me. This shows that this election was not judged so much on race, that people chose our president because of the person he is, not his color.
Our country has come a LONG way from where it was. 50 years ago or so, blacks couldn't even vote, & now we have a black president running the entire United States. it's amazing.
