Barack Obama won the presidential election. I am partially happy with the outcome and partially worried. I like Obama and I think that he will make a good pesident. It is hard to tell if he is going to go through with all that he said in his champains. I know that our country needs change and I think he is the most likely to bring changes.

I am however worried about increasing taxes. I do consider myself a democrat but with the increase of taxes I am worried that it will hurt the middle class a lot. My family is in the middle class and that is who it will hurt the most. I am glad that he is helping to get our country out of this economic crisis but, high taxes could hurt families like mine. With my dad being a small business owner he worries about what will happen with Obama in office. 

Another concern of mine is that Obama will not give veterans the full benefits that they deserve. My boyfriend just got out of the army and he is waiting on his benefits to come though. I hope that with Obama being president that this will not affect he receiving his full benefits.

All in all I think that Obama is going to make a good president. I am glad to see an African American president. I am very pround of our country, we have come so far in the past 50 years. Many people never thought that they would never live to see a black man as the President of the United States, but it happened.
