Obama

Obama's name was heard throughout the U.S. on Wednesday.  He is our new President and the first African American President ever in the U.S.  He will go down in history no matter how his presidency goes.  I think it's really cool to be able to live during a time like this.  When I'm 94 I'll be able to tell my Great-Grandkids that I was there when our first African American President was elected.  It's crazy.  I can't imagine all the pressure he's under right now.  I mean any President has a huge responsibility but right now our country is going through a tough time.  He is the one that has to make the big decisions for us.  I hope he turns everything around for the better. 

Election Day! The end of the political ads!

It's election day! Finally! It seems like the campaigning has gone on for decades! In our high school today we had a mock election. Obama won by a landslide. I think he had about 68% of the vote. Even though I don't really know much about the two candidates it was fun to hear the results. A lot of people at my school fought with each other about which candidate was the best. In every class I heard that if McCain wins he'll die and if Obama wins he'll be assassinated. I think that's a little crazy but I guess however you want to look at it. The results of the real elections should be even more fun to hear. I've heard that it will be a close race. And after the votes are in the political ads will be over with! That's exciting news. Have a great election day.

The Election - Can we all get along?

I'm sure you've all heard about Barack Obama and John McCain choosing their running mates. And we all know their names: Joe Biden and Sarah Palin. We also all know that these 2 parties/teams don't always get along... but it is a race for the U.S. presidency. Right? I live with 2 parents that belong to opposite parties. One republican and the other democrat. I've heard many good things about both parties and the people running. Sarah Palin has a 17 year old daughter that's pregnant. Does that make Sarah a bad person? I don't always know what to think but I for sure know what each party thinks and what each of my parents think. So, what I am supposed to believe? I don't really know. It doesn't really concern me at this point in my life because I can't even vote yet. But I'd really like to tell you how I feel about these elections. I feel that no matter who gets selected to be our next president and vice president will do a great job. I also feel that we should all stop fighting in a neverending war and I'm not talking about the Iraq War. I'm talking about the war here in the U.S. between two different teams. I think we just all need to start getting along. That's what I feel. Let's be nice to each other for awhile.
