Barack Obama

I am so excited to have this new blog. Anyone who knows me, knows that I have an opinion about everything, and now I can share it with the world! This blog is in response to our recent election of Barack Obama. I will first say that I am a republican and was in support of John McCain. I believe he is better qualified, and I just trust him more with the fate of our country. That being said I must say that I am excited about the possibilities of having a black president. I refuse to call him an African-American, because he is not from Africa. His decedents are not from Africa either, he is simply an American who has a black father and a white mother. Anyway, as I was saying I am excited to know that the inner city students who I teach will finally be able to see that they can be more than rap singers and NFL players. They will finally see that any person who works hard and values their education can accomplish any goal they work toward. Our country is quickly becoming a land of stupid people who do not value education. As a teacher I find this very disheartening, and I can't wait to tell my young black students that they can accomplish anything as long as they work hard for it. They can even be president some day.
