Black, yellow, white, blue We are all the same!

Before the Obama and McCain presidential campaign I really never cared for politics. The long talks about the economy and government just bores me. But when I heard about Barack Obama I immediately started to pay attention to politics. Well, I tried to keep up with the campaign. So the day of the Inauguration of Barack Obama I watched some of it with my room mate, Kelsey. Kelsey was the one to put it on. Well to be honest, I just saw Yo Yo Ma perform and about two minutes of Obama talking and did not pay attention. But I paid attention to Michelle Obama. She is an awesome women who I think will be the next Jackie Kennedy. I was seeing what she was wearing because she has such a modern with a "hip" style. And she is also a great supporter for her husband. I already knew what Obama standed for and agreed with him. The two minutes that I heard him talk was when he swore into office. He promised to "...faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States." I've always been a democrat. My dad used to be republican but he liked Obama so much that he switched sides. My mom is republican. On election day my dad wouldn't take my mom to vote because she was voting for McCain. haha He told her she was a traitor! For my dad and me it was a change to see a different colored race to get selected into office. No matter what color skin you are, on the inside we are all the same. As I watched the inauguration for that two minutes, it made me realize that even different colored skin or even religion, we are all human. We all have emotions and dreams. Because of Obama, many people who used to discriminated, they can actually have a voice in society. As chessy as that sounds. After seeing that two minutes, I then turned to the Disney Channel. The speech started to bore me. As important as the speech and day was, I didn't really interest me. On the Disney Channel, I watched "The Suite Life of Zac and Cody." This show was so much more entertaining. Well the fact that I flippin' love the Disney Channel. haha. While watching the Disney Channel, we would occasionally switch back to the inauguration. Truly, the day will go down in history and I'm glad I was apart of it for the two minutes! =)

  1. I was pretty much the same way. I watched it on TV for a little bit, then got bored and went back to my computer (probably stupid facebook) and music.
