I'm supposed to write an editorial essay about Barack Obama as President of the United States. I kind of wish I paid more attention during the election. D: Though I do love Obama ♥ except I only cared about the election after it was done ( Read more... )

obama, spam, weird

I just watched 10 minutes of the nearly-hour long speech and I already think it was beautiful. :| Your teacher let you watch the WHOLE thing? XD

Well, it would be weird if we were to suddenly go up to foreigners and go "Why do you smell like that? *innocent child-like face*" XD

This makes me wish I had any Americans around to see if there really is something like the smell of America XD

I semi-paid attention to the election, since I always pay attention to important things that happen over the world... He's the fifth youngest? How old is he anyway?

Well, even people from Europe smells Europe-ish, if that makes sense. XDDD

47? Just a guess. XD *googles it* LOL HE'S 47. XD I think Lincoln was also young? Not sure if he's the youngest, but among the fifth. :O

The American aroma? *snicker* We often say the same about foreigners here, too, heh. I think it all has to do with the diet - too much rich food perhaps, lol.

Barack Obama is 47. I'm proud that I was able to vote for him not only for president, but four years ago for the U.S. Senate when I was still voting in Illinois. He riveted the Democratic National Convention then and caught the attention of the country. What I like the most about him is that when he was a freshly minted Harvard graduate, he refused the high salary job offers showering him in order to go back and work in the community. He's SMART - and an excellent speaker. I believe he truly wants to work to change this country. I was actually impressed that he'd mentioned sitting down with "the enemy" to talk (i.e. Iran, North Korea). Most of America's world image has been severely damaged because of our arrogant "us vs. them" and "the enemy" mentality. I HATE that way of thinking.

Peace,
Czarina (who would love to smell like the orange ginger body wash I prefer to

Haha we have a funny smell?! LOLZ. I want to smell the asians now. :)

AND OBAMA IS AWESOME! YOU CAN ASK ME FOR ANYTHING ON THE POLITICS CAUSE CNN IS MY ♥ Shot
seirously, I watched the primaries, debates, read the Time articles every week.

Obama, though a newbie at foreign relations, has Joe Biden as his backup who has tons of foreign policy experience. Obama is fairly well recieved throughout the world. Europe adores him, so does Israel. People in Africa love him 'cause he's Kenyan.

He is not a slave to the military nor will he become one. Great Article here And his advisors are generally people who he knew from the early days. I think he's strong enough to stand against them. I mean he's one of the youngest presidents and black. But you shouldn't focus on the racial thing too much because he really won the race thanks to the plunging economy.

okay. end politics. XD but seriously let me know if I can help. I love this stuff.

LOL It's one thing telling other people that they have this smell, but it's another thing when other people tell YOU that you have this smell. XD ASIAN SMELL. Hmm. XD

I SHALL TAKE YOU UP ON THAT OFFER, BBY 8D BE PREPARED XD ♥♥

THAT HELPS OMFG ;; Iloveyousomuchyouknowthat <3

But here Obama, though a newbie at foreign relations, has Joe Biden as his backup who has tons of foreign policy experience.. Won't he become a slave to Joe Biden then, for lack of a better term? :O

:) Mayhaps I'll sniff my friends.

LOL. I spelled seriously seiriously XD



WHy do you say that? I think if he's able to make it this far, without using dirty politics and sticking to his goal throughout two years of arduous campaigning, why would he become a slave to Joe Biden? Plus, Joe Biden's from my area, he's cool, man. And look up how he was silenced. because he had a HUGE mouth XD
