How do you feel about Obama as President? For some kids my age it’s “Oh, he’s like my uncle!” For others it’s, “I don’t like him, but I can’t do anything about it.” For me, I’m neither. At my age I can’t vote so all I can do is hope and pray that the public makes the right choice. At this point, we don’t know how good of a President Obama will be. This is why I have chosen my age, our country’s current state, and this current historical event as my major points.
First of all, at my age you can’t vote. Most kids my age think they know everything. They talked smack about the candidates when they didn’t even know what they were talking about. They shouldn’t talk bad about either candidate because they can’t vote anyway. Now they can have their own opinion, but don’t start the smack nonsense. All we can do is hope and pray that the country picked the right guy.
Secondly, our country needs help. Our economy is bad, we’re suffering from a war, and we are confused over which side to pick with the Gaza Strip issue. We need someone smart that can help us get out of this mud pile we’re in, and I think Obama can do it. Think how much weight is on his shoulders though! The only thing we can do for him is to pray and get smart with our money. Maybe Obama will help our troubles lessen.
Lastly, this election is an event in History. As everyone knows, Obama is the first African American President. For the citizens of the United States, and the rest of the world, this is a happy time. If Obama could go back to 1950 and tell people that he would be President in 2009, they would think he was crazy. Everyone should be proud to be a part of such a historical moment.
In conclusion, Obama’s the President. He could be great, or not so great. All we can do is hope and pray that this country will turnaround under his leadership. With all this weight on his shoulders, he needs a lot of support. Although I can’t vote yet, I feel that country made an okay decision. Let’s just hope Obama’s term is successful.
