While watching Mr. Obama's speech on NBC, it dawned on me that I have never been this interested in what the future president (or even the president) of the United States had to say. I have to believe that I am not the only person who feels this way. He's making politics interesting. I want to see what he can do, but one thing he has already done is intrigued the youth of America, and there's something to be said for that.
In my opinion, to reach his full potential, Barack will have to not only intrigue the youth, but keep them involved. They were involved throughout his campaign, and if he can keep them involved throughout his presidency, I think we will see major changes for the better throughout the country.
One of Barack's most defining assets is his ability to stir up emotion and excitement. That's something recent presidents have not been able to do, and hopefully it's something that will encourage American's to stay involved in the political realm throughout these difficult times and even when times are looking up.
So if you're reading this: Do your part. Stay involved. At least be aware of what's going on in our country and in the world around us.

Being "involved" can do precious little to actually affect anything that happens at the highest levels of government. Obama wanted to keep the "youth" involved just long enough to get their votes.
ReplyDeleteHis presidency will be looked back upon as "Jimmy Carter Part 2" and we all know what a mess Carter made of things; from giving away the Panama Canal to allowing the Mullahs to take power in the Middle East, to double digit inflation and a wrecked economy. The only "Change" that Obama seems capable of is to change his own mind about who will stand beside him to run the country.
I wouls prefer not to be "involved" in his disastrous, socialist experiment.
C.S. Perry - To each his own. And for our country's and the world's sake, I hope you are wrong.
