Another fighter, Obama


Now, Obama made another speech on race and politics, which are both very important topics. It seems that he is always so glib that such a topic can take him so long time to talk about. But, anyway, I always consider him to be a wise person, maybe also the best choice for the president.
Today, he talked about the race and politics. They seem to the most classical topics that even every president would concentrate on them before they were elected. And they made a lot of promise saying I will do what what and I think we should solve the race problem and so on.

However, not all of them really dealt with the problem when they were in power. What's worse, for example, the President Bush did nothing that really benefits different races of people while he led the Iraqi War to make his army tread on the innocent Iraqi people. That's really very bad!
Obama also choose to talk about this topic and he made a lot of comments about black and white people. He wants every race of people to be fair, no matter black, white or Asian. Maybe for the reason that he himself is half white and half black, he will really do something about the race problem and I hope he will do so. Because it's really very important to solve the racial discrimination. Then we can have a real fair and beautiful country.
As we know, America has been a big melt pot of different kinds of races since its birthday. Its reasonable immigration policy has attracted a large number of people to come from their home countries to the USA. For example, in California, there are a lot of people from Mexico, China, Vietnam, Korea and many other Asian countries. Sometimes, when I am on the corner of the street and see many different races of people driving their cars to every direction, I feel that it's such a harmonious society that every race can get along with each other peacefully and friendly.
When Martin Luther King made his most famous speech 'I have a dream' about 25 years ago, the world was shocked. And Martin is really a freedom fighter and did a lot of meaningful things for black people. Today, I wish Obama, maybe the future president of America, to be another Martin and to take a brighter future of the great kingdom and the whole world.
