Obama Could Be...

I was watching the Memorial Service on t.v tonight and while the President was talking it got me thinking about him as the president. I first want to say that I do like his use of vocabulary, even if he wrote his own speech or not. Bush could not have done as well. I also believe that he has the potential to be a president that does our country justice, I just feel he has not proven himself to his potential yet.

Yes, he is the first non-white president and he will be remembered for that, and he is well educated, as shown by his manner of speech; but I can only hope that he does not settle for just being known for his skin difference. He could use his place in the American public's hearts to help change our country for the better.

For example, he could get rid of the electoral colleges because they were needed back when a great deal of the American population was not well enough educated to know the workings of the government to make a knowledgeable vote. Now, everyone has the access to the basic issues that are necessary to make an educated vote. Or, he could help in the on going plight of the Native Americans, a great deal of the American public seems to have forgotten that the true natives of this country are still, for the most part, still living on reservations and not getting what they truly deserve as the only people more native to this country that boasts equality, than anyone else.

All just food for thought...
