Hmm, when I saw the news that Obama had won the election, I got this vague, uncomfortable feeling which I can't quite identify. It's kinda freaky that he's managed to make people believe that he's practically a god just by being charming/charismatic, or maybe a better word for this would be "slick"....without having done anything yet.Everyone is talking about how he will bring "change", but what sort of change is he going to bring?
Some people are saying that it is a refreshing change to have an African-American President of the United States for once. Sure, it's a historical moment, but is the fact that he's black, or African American a good enough reason to elect him to the White House? I'm surprised by the number of people who thinks that he should be elected just because of his skin color.
On his website, change.gov, the Agenda says that:
"President-Elect Obama and Vice President-Elect Biden have developed innovative approaches to challenge the status quo in Washington and to bring about the kind of change America needs.
The Obama Administration has a comprehensive and detailed agenda to carry out its policies. The principal priorities of the Obama Administration include: a plan to revive the economy, to fix our health care, education, and social security systems, to define a clear path to energy independence, to end the war in Iraq responsibly and finish our mission in Afghanistan, and to work with our allies to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, among many other domestic and foreign policy objectives."
Very...detailed plan indeed.
Good luck America and the world. I suppose time will tell if he's gonna bring "change"
