Presidential Election 2008 Reflection

I feel happy about the results of the election. My hopes for this country are to get out of the war and to stabilize the economy. My concerns are that Barack Obama won't be able to stick to the words said and promises made. I feel that I have become well taught in politics. I used to be very ignorant in the subject, but I became interested and active lately, and have been adamant about learning what I don't fully understand about any given sub-category of politics. We have done blogs for the political race for presidency, and have been assigned to watch the debates and stay updated with the politics, which has helped me immensley. In my opinion, in class I don't think we could have done any more to further my knowledge of current politics. I feel that it was a well set up lesson plan. Furthermore, I feel that the youth of today tries to seem less ignorant than they are, but it makes them look stupid because they don't research politics and they don't understand how it works completely.
