Barack Obama

by Chandler from Mt. Vernon

My Lincoln Hero

One hundred and forty years ago, one of the greatest men ever alive walked this very land we call America. Can you guess who it is? Yes Abraham Lincoln our sixteenth president was that very man. He had an everlasting vision for equality. Not to mention, he possessed unsurpassed perseverance and he had natural born leadership. He helped this nation while it was in dire need of assistance and still he conquered every challenge that he faced. Now I believe I have found someone whose qualities resemble those of Lincoln’s.

I have chosen the new president of the United States of America, Barack Obama. He is devising and developing various plans to resurrect this falling nation in a time of economical peril. I believe that with his leadership, perseverance, and a true belief for everlasting equality, like our previous leader Abraham Lincoln, he will overcome his challenges and improve the nation. All in all he has come a long way to accomplish the job of U.S president and still conquered.

The reason I picked Barack Obama was because of his perseverance and his public speaking skills and to think he has spent years trying to get elected to a high seat of power and now he has achieved one of the highest positions of political power. Without violence and fights by devising economical strategy to recede the economic crisis of this nation and somehow has always been there for the public and even his political enemies.

He has changed me and my relatives' lives by proving no matter where you come from rich, poor, upper class, or middle class you can still achieve anything you put your mind to and stick to it you will be able to do it. The moral is try and try again you will always get what you deserve in the end.

I think every one should attempt to imitate his actions as much as possible. If you could follow the upholding morally good qualities of Abraham Lincoln and the new leader of this country the president of the United States Barack Obama.
