Thoughts on the election:
When Obama was announced the 44th president my apartment went wild. i could hear jumping from the floor above, cheering, and even a birthday horn. While all of this went on, i checked my email. For some reason i was the least excited about the election then anyone i know. I had friends my age wearing Obama buttons before i even knew who he or Mccain was. This brings up the question; am i just another ignorant un educated teen, or do i have a realistic point of view.
I have a friend who wore obama buttons and shirts before it was cool. I never got why kids do all of that. They spend money on T-shirts and Buttons so they can tell the world who, if they were old enough, would vote for. Infact I dont even think she is for Obama, i think her parents are. When i look at kids who cant vote and yet fight for a polition, i dout they had done enough researche on both nominees and put enough educational thought into the matter to really pick wich one they like more. What i see is the parents brainwashing their kids into rebulicans or democrats and then the kid fighting for the only side they know.
It is clear that i am the total opposite. In this writting i wont call obama a republican or a democrat, because while i think he is a democrat..im not really sure. It was only this year that i became pretty sure hes a democrat. before now i had no idea who was who. All i see are a group of men who use excitting words like change, but then dont ever say how. I have no problem with it either. I could do the researche, wear buttons, hand out fliers that will be not read and thrown out; or i could just do what i would do at this time in any other year. The fact is what ever i choose, the same guy will be elected he will make the same desicions and ill still be a high school student with no job waitting to break free of my parents. I have no problem with the people who put up sighns in thier door that say OBAMA. When the end of the election comes, they will be just as politically active as i was during the champain. (see i cant even spell it)
