    Yes,The election of Barack Obama as The next President did move america towards its ideal. It moved america towards its ideal because he was talking about his life and how he will try to achieve something. I thought that Obama will be a very great president. He tried very hard to stay in the election. He will end the war in Iraq. He doesnt want anymore people to die in the war.

    Yes, Obama did move America towards its ideals. He is the first black president and lots of whites voted for Obama and thats a big change.

    Yes,the election of Barack Obama as the next president of the United States does America towards its ideals. I believe this because,in first time in America we have a Afican American as a president. 150 years ago Obama would have been a slave and not be able to vote even if he had a white mother. Even when after the Civil War whites found many ways to stop Afican Americans from voting. But now they are not only are they allow to vote but run for the president. It shows that many people believe in Obama not as a slave but a person and their equal because they voted for Obama as their equal. So yes, voting Barack Obama as their first black president shows that the United States is moving towards its ideals.

    This did show that the America did move towards its ideals because in the time before the Civil War, blacks are not allow to vote. Now the blacks are allow to vote this shows America did move towards its ideals.

  17. on November 5, 2008 at 11:36 am Rebecca Said:

    I think yes,the election of Barack Obama as the next president of the united states does move america towards its ideals. because during the Civil War, balck people were not even allowed to vote. Today people voted for a black person to become the president of the United States. This shows that America its moving towards all people are created equal.I also think that Obama will change America to a better place.

  18. on November 5, 2008 at 11:36 am Andres Lin Said:

    Yes this shows america did move towards its ideals because in the 1800 blacks did not have the right to vote. Now Obama become the president this shows the all man are crated equal.

  19. on November 5, 2008 at 11:39 am Stephen Collado Said:

    Yes, Barrack Obama being the presidential elect does move America towards its ideals because from not being able to vote to being the one being voted for is a big step to all men being equal. Barrack is also opening doors to people with colored skin and its something that America has never had a person with colored skin leading us through our problems and deficits.

  20. on November 5, 2008 at 11:40 am AshL3y GeNao Said:

    YES! I do think Obama moved america towards its ideals because in his speech he gave a powerful point of how back in the 1800’s blacks could not vote and could not do what white people did. So as for him being president he shows the whole world that he anyone can do it, and that any one can give a powerful example to the world. I think hes gonna make A LOT of changes for the world, OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! YES WE CAN, YES WE CAAAANNNNN!!!!!!!! 2008 BARACK OBAMA!!!!! WOO HOOOO~!

  21. on November 5, 2008 at 11:41 am Ching Yee(Natalie)Lin Said:

    Yes,the election of Barack Obama as the next president of the did move America towards its ideals.Beacause before 150 years ago, African American couldn’t vote. However, now Obama became the president of United State.Athough after the Civil War, the government gave them the right ot vote,but it still couldn’t run for the president. And Barack Obama became the first African American president.Therfore it did move the ideal”All men created equal”.In addition, now not only the African American vote for him,many white also vote for him too.

  22. on November 5, 2008 at 11:41 am alexander batista Said:

    yes the election did move america towards its ideals becuase it shows the law all men are created equaly.the people finally can be president no matter what kind of race you are.this election also move america towards its ideals becuase then now barack obama was making a speech saying that he will make the united states a better place and that he wants everyone to be happy and feel a lot better.the election also helped move to its ideals was becuase then the people can actually feel safer.america can also be better becuase instead of having a republican president who likes to make money we now have a democratic president that actually cares about the others.the people also know how to do there bills.we can also get better economy and health care money isnt everything to Obama thats my opinion.

  23. on November 5, 2008 at 11:42 am Kiana t Said:

    Yes. The election of Barack Obama did move America towards its ideals because now there should be more right now that we have an African American. And now that we dont have another Bush to deal with. And that Obama will provide for us and is truthful on what he says. This has given the United States a whole new meaning on our American rights. And that black people should be able to do anything that they would really want to do. I dont think that McCanin should’ve won anyway because he seemed as another bush and wouldn’t really have our 50 States in check and everything would be different.

  24. on November 5, 2008 at 11:42 am palmer yee Said:

    yes! Barack Obama move America towards its ideal, because back in slavery day black had no right, they couldn’t even vote. After Barack Obama became president it prove that even black people can be come president. Also he’s the first black person to become president, it prove that black has the same right as a white person! If a white person can become a president so can a black! It’s time for a black person to lead our people closer to our ideal: “all man are equal”. There will be hard time but as Barack Obama said if people work together we can overcome this. Barack Obama said “YES WE CAN” That prove that the people made the right choice to electe him to lead the United States.

    Im so hungry for…. C.O.O.K.I.E.S!?!?!?!?!

  25. on November 5, 2008 at 11:42 am jojo gomez Said:

    I do think that Barack being elected president moves America closer to its ideals. I think that because around the time of slavery blacks couldnt even vote. So who would even think of a black becoming president. By stoppoin slavery, and letting blacks vote, that brought America closer to its ideals. So since a black person allowed to be president definately brought America closer to its ideals. That means that anyone from any race can be president. That is good for the counrty!!!

  26. on November 5, 2008 at 11:42 am Millie T. Said:

    Yes, the election of Barack Obama did move America towards its ideal. It did because before the war African Americans weren’t allowed to wote which mean they weren’t allowed to be president either. So now with the right to vote you can become president which of Barack Obama became president.He made history of being the first African American president.Another reason is because with the election of Obama there would be a CHANGE in the world.

  27. on November 5, 2008 at 11:43 am Carriee : ) Said:

    Yes it does. Clearly because Barack Obama is a Leader not a follower. He will lead our states to a CHANGE and we have HOPE in Him. He Has progressed many things, he cares about the people ( US ] . He said he is going to make sure that the people have jobs because business has not been very good for many stores lately. OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA rOCkSx !

    PRESiDENT OBAMA’O8 =)
    WE ARE GETTING CHANGE AND HOPEE !

  28. on November 5, 2008 at 11:43 am Zhao Hui Wang Said:

    I think that the election of Barack Obama being the next president of the United States of America did move America towards its ideals. 150 years ago blacks in the United States were slaves and were treated as property. Now an African American is becoming the next president of the United States. This shows that the election did move America towards its ideals. This proves that blacks have the same rights as whites.

  29. on November 5, 2008 at 11:43 am timothy huie Said:

    The election of Barack Obama does move america towards its ideals becuase like 100 years ago there was slavery. Where African Americans were not able to vote and were treated really unfair. Now Barack Obama will be the first black president of the United states of america. Barack Obama proved that blacks can do anything if they want to. This moves america towards its ideals. By making Obama president it supports the phrase ” yes we can”

  30. on November 5, 2008 at 11:44 am Yefeng Yan Said:

    Yes, Obama being the next president would move america toward its ideal. Because his the first Black person to be president. This tell that everyone is equal and Blacks or White can be a president

    Did barack obama move american towards its ideals? Yes, barack obama did move america towards its ideals. Obama stoped the war. Make the true peace for us. Obama is the first african american in the history to be the President of united states. White people voted for obama that makes africans equal. create protections for usa.

  33. on November 5, 2008 at 11:45 am Christine Rodriguez Said:

    Yes the Election of Barack Obama did move America towards its ideals because he was the first black president which made history. For Barack Obama being President is a HUGE change right there.It shows the there is hope left and that the outcome of this will be different. Back in slavery days women or blacks could not vote they didn’t have rights or freedom and now that has change,people have change and we are getting closer to our ideal “All Men Are Created Equal.”By Obama being President it shows that blacks and white are equal. Obama will change the world and America.
    “Yes We Can”
    “We Believe In Change”

  34. on November 5, 2008 at 11:47 am Wilson Zhang Said:

    Yes the election of Barack Obama as the next President did move America towards its ideals. Because his goals or ideals is to help poor people. Also to help bad teachers and schools improve. His goal is also to stop the war in iraq. Because he doesn’t want people dieing everyday. It is clear that Obama is the first black president and that shows that people are not racist.

  35. on November 5, 2008 at 11:49 am celine Said:

    Yes Obama as president did move America towards its ideals.He wants to end the war in Iraq. He believes in a better America! His speech was very insipring!He said We rise and fall as one! He is the first African American and they were not allowed to vote 150 years ago, but now he is president! He wants to help America! He will change America into a better America!

  36. on November 5, 2008 at 1:51 pm MATT OYOLA Said:

    Yes the election of Barack Obama as the next president of the United States did move America towards its ideals. Years ago African Americans weren’t permitted to vote. They were demeaned and degraded and weren’t treated equally. Now they are permitted to vote. Now they are also treated equally. Besides that, Barack Obama is part African American. Since he was able to run for president and won the election this proved that the election did move America towards its ideals because an African American became president.

  37. on November 5, 2008 at 9:51 pm Linda L. Said:

    Yes,Barack Obama becoming the next president does move America towards its ideals.It’s the first time in America that we have an African American as president.In the 1800’s Africans weren’t even allowed to vote.If there not allowed to vote it’s obvious that Africans were not allowed to be president.But now it clearly shows that America is moving towards its ideals because we have an African as president.Also in the past women were denied the right to vote.But now for the first we had a woman running for president.This proves America is moving towards its ideals.

  38. on November 6, 2008 at 6:08 pm xiu zhen tan Said:

    I think that America did move towards its ideal when Barack Obama was elected as president for year 2009. That’s because arount the 1800s’, there were so much slavery. It isn’t too long and people can still remember about it so that fact about black and white is about 80% maybe of a change, that isn’t a lot. Now Barack Obama is elected as president change a HUGE result about race. Since he is the first to dare and won, why would slavery count anymore. Everybody is equal. People didn’t cared that he was black, they care about what he is going to do to the country!
