Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

TV 3 (Def Read)


I was watched the Colbert Report the other night and what i saw was David Gergen and his view on the Presidential speech. Even though the speech was on January 27th alot of people still have alot to say. David Gergen says that Obama's speech really connected with the younger generation. He also follows up with that Obama did not connect with the white "blue collar" people. Now what I think he meant by this is that there are maybe racist people who do not really want to hear what he has to say but would like to see what he is going to do. Gergen goes on to say that the reason for Obama not gainging some people's attention is because their lives really haven't change since his election. I believe Obama is trying hard and perhaps beyond that to try to please the people more then his co-workers. David Gergen continues on saying that Barrack Obama has taken some of the hardest deficits and still continues to try to help. I think that a man who continues to try his hardest when it might not do a thing is a man of promise. Gergen ends his conversation with Colbert saying that Obama is like John Kennedy, that he is idolistic, he is insprirational, and that he lifted the people when we thought there was no hope. He also says thay JFK stumbled and made mistakes his first year of presidency and he thinks that is where Obama is now he is young and is just starting this journey. I am a straight believer that in order to get better and to see amazing progress you have got to make mistakes you must see what you must improve in order to show that you can change and make it for the better. JFK may have made his mistakes during the first year but in the second year, I believe he showed that he learned from his mistakes and moved forward during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Obama is young, brilliant, smart, and a new sun for America. But as everyone knows the sunrise comes slowly but it is bright and everyone knows when the sun is up. Obama can help America but we have to be open for him to help and patient. Good things come in time and Obama just needs time.
