Though Gov. Rick Perry (R) insists Texans are talking about secession in response to federal tax policy, a new Rasmussen Reports poll finds that 75% of Lone Star State voters would opt to remain in the United States. Only 18% would vote to secede, and 7% are not sure what they'd choose.
18% want to succeed. WTF! This is America people. But as I continued to read some of these people's answers, Obama came up. And what they were saying about him made me so mad! OOHHH!
Which bring me to something I wrote after Obama was inaugurated- which I consider my greatest piece of writing ever!
I don't know why people are hating on Obama, but get over it. He's putting this country in the right direction and fixing mess that- umm- was left for him to make better.
Don't Rain on My Parade- Written by MOIOff to write my philoshphy paper. My teacher wasn't really clear how to write the paper and didn't really look at my outline in details. So I hope it turns out the way he wants out. But it will be one hell of a paper
Rosa sat.
So Martin could walk.
So Barack could run.
So we can fly.Tuesday meant a lot of different things to so many different people. It was amazing just to see so many people of different back grounds come together to witness Obama be sworn in as the 44th president. 1.5 million went to Washington to witness history. What an amazing site to see that happen. Just seeing that made me glad to be an American again.
To be honest I never thought a black man would be president in my lifetime. I heard people talk/joke about it, but I never thought it would ever happen this fast. I was watching Larry King on Monday when he was talking to DL Hughley. DL said something that struck me: “Growing up, my teachers always told I could be whatever I wanted. I just rolled my eyes at them”. Now it’s true. Barack Obama has open doors for so much people. Never can someone say that they can’t be anything they want. Because they can. If a black man can be the leader of the greatest country in the world, then you can be whatever you want to. Obama has definitely renewed America’s spirit and given America back the title of “the land of opportunity”. My 12 year old brother says he want to be president when he grows up, now that is possible.
Martin Luther King Jr. dream has finally been realized.
Those who fought for equal rights for everyone, their struggles have been beaten.
Those who died for this country to preserve the rights of the people born here have not died in vain. They died for a fight they believed in.Being black in this country has given me a whole new reason to love my race even more.
So to those who hate Obama and think that he won’t accomplish much in 4 years, well your wrong. Just alone in a year, he has brought a sense of pride in this country. He has brought so many people together for a common cause. He has given the chance for people to become more involved in politics and doing their best to make this country a better place to live. Most importantly, he has brought patriotism back to this country. Patriotism I haven’t seen since 9/11. That alone is a huge accomplishment that very few presidents have seen in their administrations.
America has a tough road ahead of us; I believe that Obama will lead us to a better country.
Change has come, and change will be made. America will be better than ever.
I can finally say:
I can now fly,
because Barack ran,
because Martin was able to walk,
all because Rosa sat and refused to give up her seat.So I thank those who fought and never gave up the dream. Because without them. I wouldn’t be able to go to school and get all the same opportunities as the whites had.
So, thank you. Thank you very much. :)
