Obamas Inaguration

I was not so much into politics at the beginning of the race because I always thought that the people had nothing to do with any of the votes so I was impartial. As the race proceeded I began to become interested in knowing if a black man had a chance at all in becoming president. I was at the same time proud to see him make it in the race. It was not because he is African American that I was fully happy it was also because of his idealist thoughts that he will make an effort to make the United States a better country. When he won the election so much joy came to my heart I don’t think anyone had ever thought that a black man would be the one to lead the country in which black people were enslaved and separated. It was all so true though but as joyful as I was I was also scared because loosing candidate, Hilary Clinton made such a statement that he may not even live to see his inauguration. She was very wrong for making that statement but he made it. I was ecstatic to see him make it through tours on a train interacting with people, all because he put himself in danger while interacting with his followers. His speech took my breath away; I believe that next to Martin Luther King Jr. he is a phenomenal speaker. He focuses on what we need to change as a country and how we will go about it he has a lot of faith and that’s what we need. I could not help but be glued to the television when all of the superstars and historical figures were appraising Barack Obama. I also remember my friend making a statement regarding the inaugural ball she said, “All of the singing and dancing is making black people look bad.” I did not understand why she said this but I totally did not agree with her because it is not a color situation although we do acknowledge that there is a black leader of the country we as a people should not relate everything to color because even then we are being racist singling people out. All in all I think this will be the best president and I believe in his abilities to reshape the country.
