Changing

Well, who would've thought that we'd have an African American as president in our lifetime?  I'm sure no one thought that.  I'm also sure everyone has their own thoughts and opinions about it and that's fine.  It is still a free country.  I, for one, don't mind at all.  This is a country of equal opportunity for all citizens.  So, why not have an African American govern this nation?  The United States is the greatest country on Earth and I'm proud to live here and be free to choose.  I'm also proud to have the opportunity to do whatever I want to do and that includes being president if I so desire.  You may not agree with the choice that this country made, but try to be open minded and give him a chance.  Mr. Obama certainly can't be any worse than Mr. Bush.  On the other hand, he may restore the country economically.  We may be able to afford to live again.  To travel and to eat and medicate ourselves again without worrying where the money is going to come from.  Just give him a chance and if he fails, you can choose to not re-elect him in 4 years.  That's the beauty of living in the United States.
