Therefore, when Barack Obama announced his candidacy for office I am not sure what I thought about it. However, I listened to what all of the candidate had to say and I liked what I heard from Obama; But when I said that I liked Obama word spread like a wild fire and I was attacked from all sides. I felt that I did not have the right to think for my self. There are many rumors out there that he is a Muslim; and that he was not a born U.S Citizen. There are pictures circulating were he is not saluting the flag of the United States; how do we know that all these things are true. The pictures are fixed and that you can tell if you look closely.
I am proud of the steps that we have taken as a country and I am glad that I was able to see it happen. We have become a stronger country because of it; and I feel that there is a since of equality in the events that have taken place. Obama’s speech was very powerful he talked about how sixty years ago his father would not have been served in a restaurant in this country and today he was sworn in as the 44th President of The United Stated of America.
There have been three Historical events happen in my lifetime; the fall of the Berlin Wall, Russia is now a Socialist country and is no longer run by a Dictator, and the swearing in of the First African American President. Dr Martin Luther King’s dreams have come true, and I think that Abraham Lincoln would be proud of what this country has become.
I look forward to the future to see what Barack Obama does for this country and all the great things that are to come. God Bless him in his term in office that he may be able to do the things that need to be done to make this country a better place to live; and to get this country back to what it was meant to be all those years ago.
