Today was the Inaugural Address and I cannot hide that I was a little frustrated. I don't understand why the whole school had to make a huge deal out of the event and why every student had to be exposed to it when not everyone agrees with the President's political views. I can remember years back when Bush was elected and we didn't hear anything about it at school either of the times he got elected. Okay, I know this election was ground breaking because it is the first black president of our U.S. history and I am so very proud of that. But I am not proud of the fact that we picked someone like Barack Obama. Now I don't want to sit here and bash our president because that would be disrespectful and nothing annoys me more when people bash our president. I just feel like Obama was not the most qualified nominee for the position. We weren't really given a good pool to pick from and no one is to really blame for that. And not to mention, our economic status isn't exactly pristine. I guess I was annoyed because everyone was turning the event into something bigger than it was. I don't mean to offend anyone but if the person I wanted to win, won I wouldn't have been so extreme about it.
Even though I do not agree with the things Obama stands for, I really wish him the best of luck and I put all my hope in him because after all he is our president and I believe that united we stand and divided we fall. Since our country is in such a downfall, we should all stand together as one country, no matter what color, religion, or gender. I hope Barack stays true to his words and can help get our country out of this mess. We shall soon see!

I know what you mean, even though I myself am a supporter of obama,
thats part of being in office though. if one party wins, its the other party's job to watch what they do closely and criticize. i think its good that a lot of people have opposing viewpoints, because it keeps the politicians on their toes. they cant get away with just anything. which probably makes our country better as a whole.
