What has changed?
Even though Barrack Obama was only elected to be our new president yesterday, I think he has already had a huge impact on the society. It’s just the idea of having a black president, the first ever. I think that that alone changes things. He stands for equality, a new page in the book. Last night among all the excitement i read a quote somewhere that said “Rosa Parks sat so that MLK could walk, and MLK walked so Obama could run.” That is so true! Today it feels like we are living in a new country, it may have taken a while to get here but we finally did it. I believe that November 4, 2008 has changed the United States of America forever.
I can only imagine what changes are to come, at this time I no longer see our society rolling down hill but slowly getting up and climbing back up that hill. Barrack Obama becoming the new president has changed my outlook on this country. I know we are still a long way from overcoming all the racism in this country but I think that this is a HUGE step in the right direction. 50, or even 20 years ago nobody would have ever imagined that a black man would become the President of the United States. I see many great things to come from President Obama.
