On the Election...

I was sitting in my government class today, and everyone except my teacher, my friend, and myself were bashing on Obama. In band today, my friend was dressed in all black, in mourning. My brother and I were watching McCain as he was giving his concession speech, and he said, "Are you sure there's no possible way McCain can come back?"

Last night, for family scripture study, we read Helaman 1 in the Book of Mormon. The first fifteen verses. In this chapter, there are three brothers, Pahoran, Paanchi, and Pacumeni. Pahoran, the chief judge, is assassinated and his brother -- I believe it's Pacumeni -- takes his place. My mom made the comment, "People are worried Obama won't be able to serve a full term, due to assassination attempts."

When McCain made his concession speech last night, an overwhelming feeling of security came over me. Since Hillary dropped out of the race, I've wanted Obama to be president. He's calm, tactful, organized, goal-oriented, and motivated by the will of the people. He speaks politely when addressing foreign policy issues, careful to not offend any international citizen that may be listening. The rest of the world would vote for him. It makes me feel safe, knowing that the world is on his side. I think he's a very personable person. I'm excited to have a president i can relate to, who is in touch with what matters most to me.

So to those who oppose Obama, deal. I wholeheartedly believe he's the change we need.
