Obama


Obama! Obama! Obama!

Obama is president. It finally happened. Finally! GWB is out of office and will only haunt us from our dreams. Obama is president. I just like saying those words. They have a nice ring to them. They make me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

Obama is president. This is a major step forward in our history. Obama becoming president is great and all, but I still have fear. I fear that there is so much hype, and the expectations are so high, that it will almost be impossible for Him to reach what people are hoping for. I fear that if He doesn’t reach these expectations, people will get angry and impatient. I fear people will mistakenly regret voting Him into office. But I also have faith. I have faith that whatever He does; the country will be better off for it. I have faith in Him. I also have faith in this country. My faith lays in this country’s free nature and acceptance. I have faith that if He falls short and doesn’t reach the expectations, the country will still embrace the good he brought. The good not only during his time in office, but in his time getting to office, uniting this often divided country.

Obama is president. So let us forget the horrors of the past 8 years. It will be extremely difficult, but I believe. I believe it is possible to move forward in trying times, move forward with a strong, calm leader out in front. I believe in my leaders ability, I believe in His words. He is going to be like a new father, showing a baby nation how to stand on its own. So believe with me, and help us start the climb back to the top.
