President-elect Barack Obama stated Wednesday that “Help is on the way.” He also said that he would have an economic plan ready to go when he takes office on the 20th of January 2009. I sure hope so, because I’m a little tired of losing money in the markets all based on fair. I would be ok with losing money if I made a bad choice, but I not ok with losing money because of other people’s bad choices. He has also announced that former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker will head a new White House panel to help create jobs. I have no idea if Volcker will be able to bring stability to the financial system. I guess will just have to wait and see what he has up his sleeves. The thing that sucks is that we still have about 2 months to see these changes in full swing when we need these changes now. We do only have one President at a time, and we’ll have to deal with President Bush until then.

Our President-elect Barack Obama has made another good choice with adding another cabinet member. And this member is already in the position. Yes, you read it correctly; one of President Bush’s Cabinet members is staying on the job. And that member is Defense Secretary Robert Gates who is head of the Pentagon. This is a great choice in my opinion; this will also keep the Pentagon in good shape. Obama has also asked Gen. James Jones a retired Marine general to be White House national security adviser, which is another good choice. Obama we need this kind of experience in his administration to help defend America. There’s going to be more positions to be filled in his administration, and hopefully he will continue to make more good picks.

It seems that President-elect Barack Obama is using President Clinton’s people. And you what, it’s really not a bad idea if you ask me. I have always said that Bill Clinton did a great job for the United States. He may have done a lot things wrong, you know what I’m talking about, but he did a lot things good too. When he left office he had America on course of getting out of debt completely. And then President Bush came into office and everything went straight down hill. Granted America did come under attack and we lost a lot of American lives. And the actions that President Bush took I feel where the right one’s. But he’s made so many bad choices that it will make for a story for another day. Anyway, the people that Barack Obama is bringing together are a great thing. These people will definitely make up where Barack Obama falls short on. I’m a firm believer in surround yourself with good people and let them do their job. And if that’s what Barack Obama does everything will turn out all right for America again.

It’s finally over, election 2008. And we American’s have just made U.S. history. We now have our first black President of the United States. This country has come so far just over the last few decades. And people across the world are feeling overjoyed with Barack Obama’s election to President as well. If you didn’t know this already, the world was polled on who they would like to see be America’s next President be. And the result was Barack Obama 3 to 1 over McCain. With that being said, I would like to end on this note. I want only one thing from our new President Barack Obama; I want to be able to call America my proud home again. Because for some many years now America has been looked down on from other nations. He needs to bring American’s back together as one nation again. And I hope that Barack Obama will do this. We are the greatest nation on earth, but we can do much more, and we will.

The battle between John McCain and Barack Obama continues on. It seems like these two just love butting heads and putting the other one down. I feel I’m like most Americans, and really don’t like seeing our next president arguing with another candidate. It makes all of us here in America look like bad people to the rest of the world. John McCain and Barack Obama should mainly focus on what good they can do for the American people. Of course, the news media and other experts will analyze this debate and tell us all who won it. I personally feel the news media should stay out of it, and start giving their opinions. Anyway, there’s only 20 days till election and its still anyone’s game. May the best candidate win, whoever it may be.

It’s official now, Barack Obama’s bid for the White House will backed by the Clinton’s. Hillary made her speech to back out of the bid and put her support behind Barack. Then Bill Clinton followed up with his endorsement. Which I feel is a dog and pony show. After all the bashing that went on between Hillary and Barack how could either one stand behind Barack. I personally could care less who is our next President; I just want a “leader” in there. We need someone that could lead us back to being the “ Top Dogs” of the world. So over the next few months we’re all going to see a lot of bashing between Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama, oh boy, can’t wait. I personally want to hear what their going to do for the United States, not everything the other one is doing wrong. We need a new leader, and I hope to God that we get one.
