"I was in my room doing homework when I my mother called me to come into the living room to see who won the presidential election. I ambled inside and saw Barack Obama's face staring at me on the TV. I believe he will change America for the better. Last year, I had a health problem and was glad to have health insurance. Every American should have heathcare benefits. I think America has changed. Not as much segregation and racism will haunt our future."--Chloe "When I found out Barack Obama was the new president of the United States, I was in my living room watching TV with my family. Obama winning the presidential election means to me that hopefully the nation will change for the better. Obama being the first African-American to become president inspires me very much. I hope that Obama will help our economy so families won't have to worry about it as much as they have to now. I also hope his health insurance plan works because many health plans are awful now and need a change. Three of the main things that I would want Obama to accomplish during his term are: helping our economy, getting our troops out of Iraq and putting his health insurance plan into action!"--Julie
"When I first heard that Barack Obama won the presidential election, I was in my living room with my dad. I was watching MSNBC. The election of the first African-American president of the United States makes me very happy and excited, because America has defeated one of its many problems. We have become an even better nation, and we can now hope for the best. I hope to see him change how we deal with the foreign oil trade. I also hope that we can stop the killing of whales in Antartica. And I hope to see more affordable healthcare, smarter and better ways to get electricity and gas, maybe even an end to drilling and the start of creating new ways to run a car, like using biofuels. Things that I would like Obama to achieve while he is in office include new ways of getting power, whether it be solar, wind or water, bringing our troops back and last, but certainly not least, seeing the stock market rise and the inflation in our country end."--Nicklas
"When I first heard Barack Obama was the president-elect, I was half asleep on the couch in my family room. My parents and I were watching CNN when his face appeared on the screen. It was truly a historic night that I will never forget. To have the first African-American president, and in my lifetime, is truly a great step forward. With Obama as president, I believe we will be able to get out of our financial slump. I also think we'll become much more popular throughout the world with other peoples."--Simon
