A Good Man

I am so glad we are reading Barack Obama's book right now. It is a great time to start building our knowledge of politics because we will want to tell our children and grandchildren about the important time in history. Barack Obama just received a nobel prize and, although it is controversial, it is good to know the person behind the prize. I feel that I have a better understanding of the kind of man that he is and an educated opinion on how he will do as our county's president. Barack Obama is a strong man that is not swayed by the opinions of others. He finds for himself what he is going to live for and what he deems worthy of his time. He has been through many hardships, but takes that pain and anger and uses it to pursue his goals even more ardently. When a problem arises, Barack uses cunning tactics to avoid or fix the situation. When Obama is leading the bus of people to demand answers about the asbestos, he realizes that one man in the group can't read. Barack gets up and starts chanting the agenda to the crowd instead of embarrassing the illiterate man in front of the whole group. This is smart, not only to save the guy from a humiliating situation, but also to get his army hyped up. I think Barack Obama has all the qualities that a president needs to be successful, he just has to use them in the right way. He has the prayers of many of his fellow countrymen and the gift of a good heart so I have faith that he will help our country prosper and piece back together some of the broken dreams that he has been fighting for all his life.
