Barack Obama

I am very excited about Barack. His victory speech was so moving, and he is a man with morals and values. He has a strong following, and can bring real change fast to America. There are many people around the blogging community that, like everything else political, dismiss Barack as a puppet to the "real" people in charge.

This is quite upsetting to me. I understand, especially in todays age, how many youth can become apathetic and develop a disdain for anything political. But this is not the way to the truth and to real change. Dismissing every politician as a puppet and every voter as sheep who are blinded by the media is not only not correct, it is deconstructing all the progress made in the world and working against peace. Youth becoming disconnected from the political process is a real threat to our future, and I hope that people could find truth and justice within our political systems, and not rely on conspiracy theories and videos of grand new world order schemes. These theories have historically always turned out to be false, and will continue to be just that. They are easy answers to all the world problems, and don't require a lot of intellectual thought, which caters to the quick-fix masses of today. Please don't be fooled.
