I cannot consider myself a Democrat or a Republican but was
raised in a more Conservative family. I would say politically, I am moderate. I
am against abortion but for Gay rights. Two huge contrasts when it comes to
Republicans and Democrats. I am not a racist person in any way but I must say
that this whole inauguration has been extremely blown out of proportion. I
think this is an absolutely fantastic and historical moment for our country and
we are taking a huge step. What bothers me though, is that everyone
(specifically blacks) are acting as if no other president has done any good
since Obama (and he hasn’t even done anything yet!) No matter what happens, I
swear in their eyes he will do no wrongs. I couldn’t help but feel that this
campaign soon became more an issue of skin over anything else. No matter how
much people deny it, there was racism in this campaign. It’s wonderful that we
have a black president, amazing in fact! Yet still…they are treating him as if
he is God and devouring every word that comes out of his mouth practically. I
am just concerned that it is all too much talk, because no man or woman is
truly prepared for this job no matter how much the people believe it, its one
of the toughest jobs in the world! Beyonce this evening said “Obama was born to
run this Country” and mentioned how she never got involved in any of the other
campaigns until this one…its as if no President had a shining moment until
this. I know that was the case for many other people as well, she was speaking
for a large majority of them at that moment. I have never seen or heard of
anyone go this crazy over one president!! I’m sure its more than just the fact
that he’s black…it’s also the fact that he’s young…and he knows how to grab the
crowd (obviously) “change…and yes we can” which got old a loong time ago and
became much too much of a slogan for me. I hope that he meets the people’s
expectations and he won’t let us down with all his talk, charm and fresh
approaches. I’m eagerly awaiting this so called “change” that is said to come.
I support and respect him because he is our president and hope for the best…I
just do not think it will be fair when he makes mistakes as all people do and
will hardly get any scorn for it as all the other presidents did because of the
way the people are treating him as no other president has ever been treated
before. This is where I stand and I only want fairness as I hope for the best. God
bless our Country and let’s hope she’s ready for these next four years.
