Barak Obama won the election. This is a huge moment in US history. I am a little embarrassed that it has taken the US so long to get a person of color in the office, but at least it has happened. I hope that Obama follows through with his promises and does not let Americans down. He has a huge job in front of him and I know that I wouldn’t want to be the person with this task. Our country needs a strong leader who is willing to do what is best for the country and the people. I don’t know how I feel about Obama yet, but I’m glad that the election is finally over. I know that there are many people who are upset that a black man is going to the president of the United States but why should that matter? I just don’t understand why that is so important to some people. Shouldn’t the person’s character be the most important thing? Times are changing and the people who have serious problems with that need to open their eyes and take a good look at everything. We can either accept these changes or let them fester inside of us. Which choice is more painful? Acceptance or festering hate? Sometimes we have to look at the situation and realize that there are greater things in life than who won an election. Over the past six months I have learned that life doesn’t always turn out the way you plan and there is no purpose in letting the little things get you down. You can’t always plan for things because life is unpredictable. I have faith that Obama will do good things for this country.
P.S. Congratulations Uncle Tim for earning your spot in the house! Sorry that I didn't get to vote for you, I never received my absentee ballot.
