OBAMATION


It makes me happy to have Obama as the first black president. People may say Obamation and I get confused if they mean abomination because I don't feel disgraced or even outraged. The past is the past, people need to put their racism behind them if they don't like him. I understand if they do not like his policies that is a good reason. But not a good enough reason to hate him it is a reason to dislike him. I did not get that mad when Bush was elected the first time or the second. I was more sad but after a while you just have to let the past be the past.

After this election I gained huge respect for McCain. With his speech it made me happy to hear what he said. The gist of his speech was let bygones be bygones. When some of his supporters started to boo what he was saying good about Obama he basically said now stop doing this he is not only my president but also yours lets unite together and help out one and another. It made me think a lot the president goes through so much and they are constantly fixing mistakes from the previous president (these next four years will need a lot of help).

I am looking forward to see what Obama is going to do. He has made history as is which makes me scare because it is hard to be the first at anything and he will be constantly watched for every little move he makes. It is definitely hard to work under pressure and he not only has the pressure of being the First African-American president but also the huge pressure of our crumbling economy. I look forward to see what tricks he holds up his sleeves. And I hope this will bring our era further down the road and unite us. After we are the United States lets stand strong next to one and another and defend each other.
