Soojin's respons writing about Obama's speach
I remember my feeling that I was amazed when Obama was elected, even though I'm not an American. Actually, I did hope to do that. If Obama were a Korean, it would be empossible to be a president because he is a black. I was very glade to know that Obama is a president in USA and thought about his life until he was elected. He overcame a discrimination of the black and now he is a president. Because he has confronted many barriers such as a discrimination, he has been able to know well about people who are poor and discriminated in their society. In his speach, I'm very impressed about his saying. He know well world crisises such as war, economy weakness, and encourage people to be able to overcome them if we are willing to do. I admire his brave to say so and think positively for people who despair.

When the US primaries were being held to select the presidential candidates for each party, I thought that either of the Democratic candidates, Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama, would be a great prededents. I wasn't sure who I wanted more: the first African-American president, or the first woman president, but Obama has continued the recent tradition of appointing a brilliant woman to the extremely powerful post of Secretary of State to replace Condoleezza Rice, who was George Bush's 2nd term choice to replace Madelience Albright, appointed by Bill Clinton.
ReplyDeleteBut jsut being a woman, or African-American, isn't the most important thing: I actually favoured the old white male McCain for president, until he chose that narrow minded and ill-informed woman Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential candidate. I think, with Soojin, that America felt the same way, that the policies and leadership were more important than sex or skin colour, and that's great.
