My Thoughts on Barack Obama
In 2008, history was made when Barack Obama was elected
president. This made me feel very proud to be an African American.
America has taken a big step in accepting diversity in political leadership
roles. By that I mean voting for and electing our first African American
president, Barack Obama. Barack Obama is an inspiration to me, because
he proved that there can always be change as long as you are willing
to work toward it.
I also believe, he will make every effort to find a peaceful solution
to ending the war in Iraq, solving the crisis with the economy, and
any other crisis that may effect America and its people in the future.
Barack Obama is an inspiration to every American - Black, White, Asian,
and Hispanic.

Meine Gedanken zu Barack Obama
Im Jahr 2008 wurde Geschichte gemacht, als Barack Obama
zum Präsidenten gewählt wurde. Dies machte mich sehr stolz darauf, ein
Afrikanisch-Amerikaner zu sein.
Amerika hat einen großen Schritt darin getan, Verschiedenheit in der
politischen Führung zu akzeptieren. Damit meine ich, für unseren ersten
afrikanisch-amerikanischen Präsidenten, Barack Obama, zu stimmen und
ihn zu wählen. Barack Obama ist eine Inspiration für mich, weil er bewiesen
hat, dass es immer Veränderungen geben kann, so lange man gewillt ist,
darauf hin zu arbeiten.
Ich glaube auch, dass er jede Anstrengung unternehmen wird, eine friedliche
Lösung zu finden, um den Krieg in Irak zu beenden, die Wirtschaftskrise
zu überwinden und jede andere Krise, die sich in Zukunft auf Amerika
und seine Menschen auswirken mag.
Barack Obama ist eine Inspiration für alle Amerikaner - Schwarze, Weiße,
Asiaten und Lateinamerikaner.
