The election of Barack Hussein Obama has given the impression that an African American president has given our community equality. His image has been the profound light of the black communities all over the world he has reshaped our image given us the imagination that with hard work in integrity good things could happen if a black woman or man could dream and make their dreams happen. Ideally, the election of President Barack Obama has led us down a good path; a stable path that we can all be proud of.

He led the United States back from the biggest economic downturn since the Great Depression with little help from the opposite side. There has to be some form of congrats to him on his achievements throughout the past eight years. In the end, one has to acknowledge what he has done with limited resources and not being able to get almost anything passed in his second term of office. Because republicans regained control of the house and the senate that pretty much blocked the Commander in Chief from pushing his ideas through and the helping of the middle class before leaving office. Sooner than later his time as President of the United States will fade and the torch will be passed to someone new. It will be either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton to take the next oath of office. Many feel that the either of them won’t stick to their promises and make sure they provide help for black people across the nation.

Even mogul and rapper Diddy which has had a huge influence over the African American community over the years feels that we as African Americans got shortchanged as he did a good job but more could have been done for the African American community in almost certainly almost every black person would agree with that. African Americans came up in huge waves to make sure that President Obama was elected for two terms to run the country but in return African-American brothers in sisters got no bill or law to help protect us from getting killed by police officers at a higher rate than anyone in the country. Overall, African Americans cannot stay at home we must push through and realize that this could really be worse if we stay at home and not vote for the first President after the Obama era.
