I guess I can say I'm glad that someone with intelligence won the election and is now our president, but to be truthful I didn't exactly follow up on the whole election. Now I feel like I should have payed more attention to each candidates' speeches and follow up on the votes because I am still a little lost with everything that has happened since I never really payed mind to the things that were stated by each candidate. Right now I do think that Barrack Obama has a lot of pressure on him just because Americans have high expectations from him. I hope that everything he has stated in his victory speech will have actions sooner than we think because everyone is waiting for a change.
In class today, Alex and Sam moved me with their thoughts and ideas about how they felt with the election. I thought to myself of course who wouldn't expect more from a black president, but we as Americans need to step up and not sit on our asses and help out too. This isn't just up to him, we need to work together to make change and that is what I feel Obama means when he states, "this isn't about me, its about you"
We also cant expect change right now, we have to be patient and let things flow...
