Obama

08/28/08 forty-five years ago a great man named Martin Luther King Jr. recited the famous “I Have a Dream” speech. Now 45 years later we have the opportunity to hear from the first African American to be nominated, Barak Obama, the son of a man from Kenya and mother from Kansas. He now restates Kings Dreams. Giving us hope and promising change! With the power in his voice just as Martin Luther King Jr. he accepted the nomination. Making people see the reality of the economy. He pointed out that Bush still works on the past and does nothing to change the future. He also stated that his opponent John McCain has voted 90% of the time with Bush. So that leaves 10% chance for change. Obama made it clear that with education and the support of his family he wouldn’t be where he’s at today. To him education is very important. He is aware of the lack of support teachers and education in general has. He is ready to make education important again. He plans to raise there pay and hire teachers that do care and have the right requirements to teach. In my opinion Barak Obama is our chance for change. He has seen the reality of many here in the U.S and is aware of the struggles.
