Obamaaaaaaaaaa!

After reading Obama’s speech, I think it makes it a little easier to focus on what he’s saying rather than how he delivers it. Certainly seeing the speech you get the whole sense of how he feels, but at the same time you can get caught up in the tone of his voice or what he’s acting out instead of the words. Anyways, what I really liked about his speech was how he is thinking about the true middle class and less fortunate members of our country. He states that our government should “help us, not hurt us.” He has an excellent point here, also mentioning that the average income as gone down during Bush’s presidency, which I was not aware of. Another thing I thought about after reading this is the question many people are asking such as ‘is our nation ready for a black president?’ Although I think we are ready as long as they were the right person for the job, I know much of that nation is against it which I think is completely insane. For a while, I have thought that John McCain was going to win simply because he has the better stats as far as what people have voted for in the past, but to hear Obama make these points about him I hope people don’t rule him out because he is not the typical president
