Electoral Politics and Party Identity

Obamas election would not change the need but i don't think its necessary to have a 3rd party for black people. It may be necessary but still it would give us crutch up and give other races of people more reason to complain about politics. If we did get a 3rd party for us would we actually be given the things we need and ask for? Would the government take it seriously? I can't forsee that as a positive thing for our people. How would it work, what would we be doing in the sense of what problems would be getting solved and not just talked about. I also think that it could possibly begin to divide our nation and make it more like times before.

Still on the Obama Watch

Obama an his wife seen together is great for the black community. Yes it important to be poitical figures, but a good mother and father is just as if not more important as his politcal famous stature. As a role between man and women it shows how they both still have their careers and take care of their business as well. The role of men is to be the bread winner and Obama is doing that as a black man and thats important for other black men to see and a good symbol to follow. His wife is carries herself in a strong way and instead of being in the back she is by the side of Obama, portrays herself as a loving mother. All of these are importabd because it helps eliminate the stereotypes about black men and women not being good parents and children not having both parents around.

Personally, hearing about all the places the President has gone to, makes him human. Just because he doesn't stay in the White House 24/7 won't change how good of a President he is or will grow to be. Going out and appearing places is showing how good he can connect with the public, so yes it would be good politics,if gas is so much let him be one of the many people driving around and spending money on gas. In going to the Bulls game people got excited to know he was there, Im sure many people will enjoy telling the story of when the First Black President of the United States went to a Bulls game they attended, or when he practiced with the Tar heels of North Carolina. Overall getting to be seen by our public allows people to see how you act and evalutate you as a person so this could be a way of getting votes down the for the ext election.
