Reflection on Election

This past election is one that will definitely go down in history. Our first black president has been elected. Barack Obama. What a name. Word in the papers is that a bunch of new voters signed up this election and that people who have been registered that never went now did. The U.S. was ready for a change. Says mostly everyone because still like 10 people voted for McCain. So what can we expect from our new president? The one that has promised so much change? The one who people look at as the reborn Jesus. What is really going to become of the U.S. now? In my opinion. President Obama is being held to a much too high standard. People think he is going to be able to fix the economic woes within a matter of days when in truth it is going to take much longer. When it is not fixed as fast as people had thought it would, many are going to lose their confidence in the president. Then whites are going to start blaming all the faults of the United States on the fact that there is a black president. While others may know that it has nothing to do wtih race it may just impact future elections. On a positive note it may affect future elections in a good way by allowing more minorities to run for office and let others have a more open mind to voting for them. Either way this election was extremely important and one that may open doors to many possibilities.
