Election Reflection

I really didn't know what to think of the election. I wasn't sure if I was for Obama or McCain. In my opinion I the only reason Obama won is because he became somewhat of a celebrity figure, at least to the general public. Obama caught peoples attention because he was different. The wat he looks, and the things he is interested in doing to changing the country. There are Obama books, shirts, stickers, buttons, yard signs, bags. It's less like a presidential campaign, and more like an ad. The thing that had me thinking was that people that were voting for Obama didn't really even know why they were voting for him, besides that fact that he is Afican American. Walking down 42nd street a news reporter approached a group of young adults and asked for the for who they were voting for and why. They simply yelled out "cuz he's black,hes on of us" They had no idea about Obama's policies and regulations. Ehen watching the news throughout th elections for some reason the reporters seemed to be inferring. Also this shows how although Obama is for "change" he is still the typical American. I feel like during the campaigns many people pretty much treated Obama as God. Guessing they thought he would fix American and make everything all better again. Unfortunatly, I don't think Obama will be able to do much with the state the country is in right now. I don't have anything against Obama, as for right now I am for him more than McCain. He seems like the best person for the job at hand, although most people would disagree I don't think he will be able to bring much change anytime soon. Everyone is so hyped about about him being president, but when I come to think of it, won't be be known as a bad president because he wasn't able to get America back on it's feet? Even though it's a significant event in history, that we have a black man as President I am just interested in seeing how it all works out.
