Ening of a chapter, I think not!

While I was reading the article Randy found for us to read, I agreed on a lot of stuff in the article, but one part in the beginning. This role of Obama being the president does not mark the “the end of another magnificent chapter in America’s experience of democracy.” But instead, he marked the beginning of what could be great in our history. Now this didn’t JUST happen; other events happened along the way paving the way to what we know today with Obama being the presidential elect. We got the abolition of slavery, separate but equal, black rights and then black people in baseball.

            Jackie Robinson, the first black person in national baseball. His role I think is now repeated for the new presidential elect, but in a different standard. When I was watching a biography on Jackie Robinson, the most interesting quote I remember is when he got the job that his coach brought him to his office and told him very plainly “I stuck my neck out for you, don’t let them cut it off.” Since then, he lived up to that line and always tried to keep up to those expectations. Since he represented the whole black community, he needed to make sure he didn’t screw up, not once. I think this expectation is now on the new president elect. Every one is hoping that this new president can pick up all the litter that all the other presidents so blatantly left on the floor. If he does do a great job like what Mr. Robinson did, then we will be writing a new chapter FOR SURE in the history about fixing a big stock market crisis and finishing the war without looking like a fool.

            Hey, when Jackie Robinson started getting people to go into baseball, baseball started getting more money. So let’s home that this will work the same, because nobody wants it the other way. Enidng a chapter is looking a glass half empty, im looking at it half full! Happy thinking is always good, and hopefully we will role in with happy times!
