Today, at noon eastern time, Barack Obama officially becam our president. George W. Bush flew away in a helicopter, hopefully never to be seen again.
Change is rising over the horizon. Obama, it has been rumored, will close down Gitmo tommorrow, and this will be only the first in a long line of changes. I know how many of you feel- that he will never live up to his hype. I somewhat agree…not every decision he makes will be a good one. But, all in all, I feel that he will be one of the best presidents our nation has ever seen. So, let’s give three cheers for President Obama!
Well, it’s election season yet again (just in case you hadn’t picked up on that). The two mainstream candidates are Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain. While both candidates have our country’s best interest in heart, Barack Obama stands for change, whereas McCain supports overwhelmingly the same policies as George W. Bush.Under Bush’s 8-year reign our country’s national debt has more than doubled (from around $3.5 trillion in early 2001 to around $9.5 trillion in late 2008), a war has needlessly for more than 6 years, and the average drop-out rate in schools across the country has increased. Obama will make the first in hopefully a marathon of steps to repair our country, both in image overseas and in prosperity at home. I therefore urge, nay, implore you to vote for Barack Obama. Below is a collection of more prominent and moving speeches from the Democratic National Convention, which concluded two evenings ago. I strongly encourage all of you to listen to one of these speeches, especially if you are on the fence about whom to choose, or are even consdiering McCain. If you are only going to listen to one, I would suggest either Hilary Clinton’s or Barack Obama’s speech.
