The Audacity of Change

On January 20, 2009 a historic event took place in Washington that will change the face of the United States forever. After reading this article I was a little trouble by the tone in which the author described the upcoming change in our government. With the end of the Bush era, citizens have found a reason to rally. Over the past eight years this great country has suffered set backs that have effect not just how we are viewed world wide but has suffered an internal corruption that has shaken the faith in many citizens. With Obama in office what can we expect? Many have expressed a rejuvenated faith with his election but I think it is way to early to express any sort of praise considering his time in office has been short and little progress has been made. The author of this article says one of Obama’s greatest feats will be to define who he is going to be as a president. Talk is cheap in the world of politics, and our new president has been good at talking. With an almost celebrity like president I think it is important for people to judge him on his actions. While I support Obama I also believe it is important to remember he is a politician not a super hero.
