First Man in Oval Office"Barack Obama",start of an new era

For over a year we watched and listened to Senator John McCain and Senator Barack Obama plead their cases to the American people and state why they would be best for President. It was believed that John McCain would win with no problems - but the people spoke otherwise. On November 4th Barack Obama won the Presidency by a landslide. Being in office Barack must now face the biggest challenge of his life. He must be able to rule a country that is slowly easing towards a depression and is in the middle of a war that will never seem to end. This requires him to be able to fulfill all of the promises that got him into this demanding position. The American people are now asking whether or not he will be able to take the soldiers out of Iraq and harms way? Or will he be able to steer us clear from a depression and into an economy that people cannot only afford - but can also enjoy to live in. He has four years to prove himself. Along with trying to keep the country well run and balanced out he most endure criticism from everyone. The fact that he is the first black President makes him an icon forever and someone that many people will look up to. But it also means that others will not like him. But this comes with the territory does it not? We see it with every President that takes office. When you are in such a high position of power you are required to do EVERYTHING by the book and with no problems whatsoever.. One small wrong move like not pronouncing a word right or wearing the wrong clothes will be ridiculed and splashed on every comedic television show and website. It seems petty but that is the world that we live in. The one thing that every American loves to hear are some good clean and also not so clean jokes concerning our soon to be President. Hundreds of Barack Obama jokes are already making their way across the Internet and let’s face it - they’re down right funny. They may not be true - but having a good laugh over him can be fun. But at the same time let us remember that he is our new President and does deserve some respect from us. After all he is the most powerful man in the country and he can control most things. Let’s try to keep him happy and we wish him good luck on the next four years!
