I feel that the results of the election say a lot about how far our country has come. The civil rights movement occurred somewhat recently compared to our history, and now an African American man has been elected president. Now that Obama has been elected, there will be a few challenges he must face. While a majority of the country voted for Obama, there are still backwards thinking people in this country who will judge him by his race and there will be a lot that he will have to put up with. Another challenge for Obama would have to be dealing with the responsibilities of being president with the current amount of experience he has.

Yeah I think the country is still a little divided but lets hope that changes too. An African American president will change our image as a country.I think this event will get us to negotiate more with other countries. I agree, we have come a long way since the civil rights movements..
I definitely agree that Obama will face challenges. Also, I agree that we have come a long was as a country to elect an African American president, however the fact that we are making such a big deal out of it is proof that we still have a long way to go as a country until things actually are equal.
