President Barack Obama - History Made

The Presidential Election is finally over! And although exciting to see the possibility of the first woman vice-president on the Republican ticket or the first African American president on the Democrat ticket, it seems the campaigning went on forever and I am glad to see it finally - over.--No more TV ads!! In the end, our new president elected was Barack Obama. I personally did not cast my vote for him for several reasons, mostly my concern of how he plans to handle the Iraq/Afghanistan wars, (since he lacks experience in international affairs) and his tax plans. However, on the upside of this election, it does show to the world that the people of the US want change and there is opportunity for all people in this country. For me, I think in our world today the President really has become a PR person that represents our country to other nations. And I do think President Obama is well spoken and seems to remain calm in tense situations. So, in 2008, History was made and that is pretty cool to witness! Now as a true American and happy to live in this country, I will stand behind President Obama and hope he can bring to light some of the changes this country needs while keeping us safe on our own soil. God Bless- President Obama, please give him the wisdom and knowledge to lead this country in the right direction!
