Obama Speaks Out On Race

Barack Obama delivered an inspiring speech on race. He had cleverly balanced out his criticisms on both black and white, and then challenged America to solve our problems together and to work toward “A More Perfect Union.” He believed, “This union may never be perfect, but generation after generation has shown that it can always be perfected.” Obama also untangled himself out of the controversial statement made by Reverend Jeremiah Wright in his skillful remark:

The profound mistake of Reverend Wright’s sermons is not that he spoke about racism in our society. It’s that he spoke as if our society was static; as if no progress has been made; as if this country—a country that has made it possible for one of his own members to run for the highest office in the land and build a coalition of white and black; Latino and Asian, rich and poor, young and old—is still irrevocably bound to a tragic past.  But what we know—what we have seen—is that America can change. That is true genius of this nation.  What we have already achieved gives us hope—the audacity to hope—for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.

If Obama could indeed hold truth to his powerful words, there’s no reason for me not to root for him.

Hillary Addressed War in Iraq at GW

In her forty-five minute speech, Senator Hillary Clinton claimed to take the troops home as quickly and responsibly as possible. Her plan included withdrawing our troops by 2009, letting the Iraqi government takes responsible for its own citizen, and making sure that oil money and tax money go into restructuring Iraq. Hillary also criticized Bush and McCain—“Don’t learn from your mistakes, repeat them”—for willing to keep troops in Iraq for 100 years. As for Obama, she praised him for his words but not his action: “Not how a speech is delivered, but how to delivery the speech [into solution].”

Marriage and “Ex”-es

The past two evenings had been spent with married couples. The topics range from kids, food to diet. I felt like I am fitting into the club already. They told me that once you get married you don’t hang out with single friends anymore due to conflict of interests. When you’re single, you talk about girls. Once you married, you talk about kids.

I also learned an invaluable lesson from hanging out with married couples. No matter how long you’ve been married, don’t ever bring up your “Ex’-es. Once you tied the knot, you might as well buried your past relationships. Marriage and “ex”-es don’t go well together. You’ll be better off not knowing your partner’s “ex.” You can change nothing anyway. So just let the past go and be happy with your present.
