--> in my own words.

As we all know, Barack Obama has been elected the 44th President of the United States. Honestly, I really don't know what to think about this. From tuning into my parents conversations, I've heard that he is wanting to take the troops out of Iraq. He has made it clear that that is what he is wanting to do first. Whether this be good for America or bad, I really can't say. I've also learned that he is wanting to make it more fair for the middle class Americans when it comes to taxes. If I understand correctly, Obama is wanting the wealthier to pay higher taxes than those in the middle class, who probably work harder for their money. I think we'll all just have to wait and see if Barack really follows through with the ideas he's had for a better America.
