First blog post

This is my first blog entry to the world. Welcome to my mind!  I have not decided what to make this blog about yet but i would like to comment on some current events that stand out to me.  Recently I was sitting in my american history class and we where discussing the civil war and how it affects us today.  How it affects us today?  The answer to me is obvious,  we went from trying to own black people as slaves to electing one to run the most powerful nation in the world.  I have faith in Obama just as i had faith that the rightous cause of the civil war would prevail.  We have come a long ways since the emancipation proclimation was passed and i have faith that Barack Obama will lead us even farther into the future.
