Becoming president is something nobody wants. It is a commitment. To want something can change the following day, but to be committed is be willing to take a stand to cause the matter. Becoming the president during this crisis is the biggest problem Obama has ever faced. It is a problem that is worth his life. I personally admire this man.
For the first time in America a man who is considered "black" by most Americans became candidate for presidency and even the president of the United States of America. Being the worst economic crisis in the last century, America is needed for change. Change is seen in every different aspect while voting for the president that will lead America to the right path.
Barack Obama as candidate brought a great non seen before opportunity of change, because of what he had to offer. While his competition, John McCain, represented the typical president of the United States that should be elected. Change was identified more in Obama by most Americans and as an outcome he became president. Even though Obama has remarkable achievements that make him a trustworthy president, most people in both coasts of the country considered his different ethnicity background more outstanding to elect him. The central states overall are more influenced by the "true American culture", in other words John McCain gained their vote.
Both presidents had something to offer and bother were seen differently by America. Even one of them was elected and the other one was not, both of them were candidates on taking on a very conflicted country for whatever reason they might have. Both of them got so far because of their achievements on communicating. People will always vote for whoever sounds the best to them.
America has become through many years a country of different ethnicity backgrounds; without mentioning that Europe took over this land hundreds of years ago. So, there is no such thing as being a true American when your background contains European ascendancy and later on Latino, Chinese, etc. ascendancy. I am being bias against McCain because personally I heard greater possibilities from Obama than from him. I am glad that Obama won the elections and he had the support of most of the population in America. Americans have come to realize that it is time for change and to put aside all racial limits that are no longer present since they voted for Obama. However there are still people that believe otherwise and it will take some time for Obama to gain their vote.
I believe that the country will economically improve, It will take many years but, as united as we were on agreeing for change we can make it through the past mistakes we and our leader have done. Someone said before the elections "Never had a candidate brought me to tears with inspiration to go out and make this country a better place to live. Barack Obama deserves to be the next American president" This shows that some people are willing to contribute to this change. Every American can do it, they just need to commit as Obama did and take stand for themselves and one another.
"You proved that change can happen. You built an unprecedented grassroots organization in all 50 states that brought a record number of people into the political process -- many for the first time, many for the first time in a long time".
