Recently a lot of discussions are being held to discuss whether America is ready to elect a New Black President or even a woman to lead the strongest State in the world. Some were saying that yes this could happen and that the American people are ready to make this revolutionary change in the White House. Some others were not optimistic about it, in which they said that even if this woman would reach the White House, she won’t be ruling by her own self but indeed she will be affected by her X President husband, they even called them the “Clintons” for the Presidential elections. Others were talking about Obama and his white mother and black father, they said that he is not a one hundred pure black man so he wont make the dream become true even if he reaches the White House, others were even asking whether if he really would make a change, a simple change as increasing the employment chances for the black Americans if he reaches the White House or whether it would be hard enough for him only to deal with the matters that are waiting for him before entering the White House. Today someone close to his campaign was arrested by the Federal police and this is weird. Anyways even if Clinton works upon her husband’s program although I completely don’t believe that she is, she is still going to be the first woman to be in charge of the White House and this is a change in the history of America. And even if Obama is not a pure black American, his arrival to the White House could change the whole situation and bring new ways of dealing with the daily matters that are waiting for him. His way of speaking and lecturing among the people reminds us of Martin Luther King and the support he is getting from lots of Americans, not only black Americans shows that there is a chance for this man, unless he wont be fully supported by his own people. This is America, full of surprises and who knows who he or she would be to lead the most important house in the world, the white house!
