Say What?
I had no idea what Obama just said. He talks more like a professor than a president still. His ideas and thoughts are sometimes so lofty that I get lost. Either he is verbose or I’m just tired now and losing my attention span.
He has such a calm nature but tonight he seems so overwhelmed or overburdened with emotion; it’s such a contrast to the mood of a jubilant, screaming crowd. Perhaps it’s the loss of his grandmother just two days ago. Or that his mother or his father are not here to witness this moment either.
It must feel overwhelming to be in Chicago this night when he had given so much of himself as a community organizer back in the 80s when it seemed like his work was so futile.
It wasn’t an easy decision to vote for Obama; I have my fears and concerns about him. He is not a perfect man by any means and I personally felt when he first announced he was going to run that he had time and could run later. But considering all the candidates and all the pros and cons which I won’t go into here, I felt he was the best candidate to be president.
Politics is always going to be a sensitive issue, even within my own family and friends but I am hopeful that Obama will help reverse America’s downward spiral, if it’s not too late already.
My personal feeling is that he was trying to help downplay expectations and prepare people for a very difficult and serious period ahead of them. Any rational person will know that there’s no way he can execute his programs and promises with the current crises, and given the already unrealistic expectations placed upon him by his fanatical foll0wers, he needs to do what he can to prep them for the long struggle ahead. Somber is the best tone available.
It’ll be an interesting four to eight years.
