Barack Obama is the first ever African American to be a presidential candidate, and if he wins the 2008 election, he will be the first ever African American president. Senator Edward Kennedy believes that Obama will continue to carry out his dream, and create the change he feels is necessary to this country. Many people would be happy to have him as the next president, as can be seen by the turnout at the Democratic National Convention.
In class, we have been discussing a lot of politics, primarily the presidential candidates. We have been talking about all the hype that has been going around about them, and what to and what not to believe. With Obama, it has been a topic of interest, since he is bringing something entirely new to the table (both with his race and his plans for the country).
I believe that the history Barack Obama is making by simply being in the running is perfectly representative of the "change" that he is talking about. I personally support his philosphy that change is what this country needs right
now, and I am supportive of his plan to get there. Even if he does not win this election (although I really hope he does) I am thrilled that he is even in the running, because that shows just how far we have come as a nation.
