I just read the speech Obama is giving school children tomorrow. All I could think of was Bill Cosby. He has been criticized in the black community for telling black children and parents that they need to pay attention to their education. He has been very outspoken about the disintegration of black families. I thought he must be thrilled to see a black man with tremendous influence speaking out to American children of all colors.
I could be wrong. I know a black women who is conservative in her thinking. However she told me that one of the most significant events of her life was seeing Obama elected president. As a white female, I don't completely understand that but I believe her.
Maybe Obama can influence some children who are lost in the system to try harder. Maybe he can give some encouragement to a child who would not hear it from George Bush.
Now I don't agree with his politics or his policies. But I don't get what all the fuss is about. If he does this more and more, then I will get worried.
