2008 Election (New)

I think that Obama winning this election really showed America taking a big step forward, because he is not the same type of president that we have always had. He is not the white christian whose parents had all this money. Obama is a black man who went from rags to riches. I think him going through the struggles in his personal life shows how strong he is and that he is able to run our country. No other presidents have had to deal with the same problems as him. Now children can believe their parents when they tell them that they can be what ever they want because no one expected we would have a black president. I also think that even though he didn't have all this money he is the smartest candidate that we have had so far. I don't think that McCain spent enough time on his own campaign instead just tried to prove Obama wrong and make him look bad. There is a lot of work that has to be done and I think Obama is the right man for the job. Obama's winning has created some whites to hate blacks and I think that there will be many plans that are created to try and assassinate Obama. I think that the people who were yelling kill him when McCain announced Obamas winning are ignorant and not even McCain would agree with them. They are the ones who don't want change in America. I think that its good Obama won because Mccain just wants the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer. Obama wouldn't do that because he has been in the lower class when he was younger and knows how hard it is to live that way. Because he has grew up from the low class the people in the lower class are able to count on him to help them out.
