So at this point in the game, it has become pretty evident that Barack is going into the white house. Sorry, I jinxed it, but seriously, no one seems to have thought about what happens once he's made it in...
Here's my scenario... I believe that one of three things could possibly happen once Barack gets into office:
1. The current administration as many of us already know, and some of us refuse to believe, has kept so many secrets that the country may be beyond compare. In other words, they would have set Barack up for failure. Because he has so much pressure on him as the first black president to do well that it may be his downfall because if he can not solve everyones problems they may crucify him for it.- Lets say Barack does do well, and his supporting public is strongly behind him, proving that the African American man is beginning to bridge the gap between his Caucasian counterparts and can do just as well as the next man. Is our society truly ready for that? So many of our great American leaders have been taken down because they threaten change, and that was President Obama's campaign promise! Is he the next J.F.K., M.L.K., or Malcolm X? I don't know, but if he truly is as great as his supporters believe he is, then perhaps they should be worried.
- Barack could get into office, and break several campaign promise, as most politicians usually do, and continue the war in Iraq. Perhaps once, he arrives in office, he'll be persuaded and become a puppet for conservatives that will convince him to change his policies. Inevitably resulting, in a disappointed American people.
Did I miss anything? I believe I have all my bases covered, and I've prepared for the worse. No matter, which way you look at it, we must prepare ourselves. Electing a president is not where the campaign for change ends. We must stand up for him, defend him, demand change, watch his every move (because no politician should be trusted with the world, as far as I'm concerned), and protect him.
Am I simply being pessimistic, or is this a realist? Answer honestly.
