blog 2

To tell the truth, whenever i open up the newspaper, all i see and read about is our new president OBAMA. i am not going to lie, but i am getting somewhat annoyed. Not because I don't care about our country's leader but because that's all ive been hearing about. I guess i will write my blog today about what i did read on our new president, however i was pretty interested in this article...
Barak Obama's father apparently was born in central Kisumu, kenya (which i did not know) and when Obama visited south africa he seemed to be very popular. Many africans are conviced that Obama's victory is going to put them into the world's spotlight. The question the article states though is, "Will a president who inherits two wars and a deepening global recession really usher in an era of hope for the world's poorest continent?" some think that there will be a tremendous change economically, socially and politically.
all i want to say is that just because a black man is the president of the US shouldn't mean that it will now solve the solutions to all the blacks around the world. as Nigerian sen. iyabo obasanjo bello recalls, "we are putting too much hope and expectations on one man to save the black race."
