The elections
I am very happy about the results of this years election. In my state of Michigan a democratic senator was re-elected and a new democratic president was also elected. Our new president elect Baraque O'Bama is the first ever African American President and I am excited to see where he is going to take our country. I believe that the last eight years have been some of the worst and toughest this country has seen. With a new democratic administration in the White House we are going to see changes that will people here in our own country instead of going to war with everyone we feel like. I hope our new president focuses on making the economy better and I believe he will do so. I also hope our new president takes us out of Iraq and Afghanistan and quits wasting our money overseas. God Bless America!

I agree with your response to the outcome of the election. I believe that having an African American president is going to make a big difference in our country and the way people think. Its going to have a huge impact on what our society thinks when they think of the President. They wont think of a typical White upperclass male. I think that he is going to make our country run more smoothly than the previous president and hopefully he does take out the troops from the middle east because like you said, they are there for nothing.
I think that the results of this election have been the great climax of the movement for racial equality. We know can hold true to the old age-old futuristic comment made by parents to their children. Anyone can grow up to be president someday.
I pretty much disagree with everything you said. Taking troops out of Iraq and Afganistan would lead to tragic conclusions that we would regret. Spending money on freedom is the best way to spend our money. Just because we are born and live in America doesn't mean we deserve freedom and liberty while others suffer. Also Obama's economic plan, if he does what he said during the capaign, is a disaster. More spending plus lower taxes equals a larger dept. Where is he going to get the money? I think by raising taxes on everybody, which he said he wouldn't do. Plus these last eight years have not been that bad, the economy has grown significantly, we aren't even officially in a recession yet, which would be two quarters of negative growth.
