It shows how not much different he is from the rest of us. Some may think that the U.S. President is some sort of oh-so powerful leader who rules over us when really, like what Obama stated, he’s just like anyone. He can also better understand many people’s problems and how to solve them, hence his statement about mistakes.]]> 2016-05-15 01:14:15 UTC https://padlet.com/boba/fr1045quv4rd/wish/110895829 boba https://padlet.com/boba/fr1045quv4rd/wish/110895830 " ‘When they describe their youth, these are young people who made mistakes that aren’t that different from the mistakes I made, and the mistakes that a lot of you guys made,’ Obama said.

He spoke of true words to the audience, such as “action requires that we shed our cynicism.” If we must make a positive change for the sake of other people around us, we shouldn’t be upset on how terrible others are. Rather we must focus on how to make a better change for the good.]]> 2016-05-15 01:13:30 UTC https://padlet.com/boba/fr1045quv4rd/wish/110895831 boba https://padlet.com/boba/fr1045quv4rd/wish/110895832 Before our 44th president came, there were little people protesting against the issue of police officers missing their power to oppress the people of color. Now, ever since Barack Obama became president, large riots all around the nation are fighting against them to bring justice to those who have been hurt, hence creating #BlackLivesMatter movement. Why? Because President Obama is the first black U.S. president, it seemed as if he has brought a voice for the people of color, for them to finally yell out their opinions.]]> 2016-05-15 01:13:00 UTC https://padlet.com/boba/fr1045quv4rd/wish/110895832 boba https://padlet.com/boba/fr1045quv4rd/wish/110895833 “The organized demonstrations, protests and outrage of a new generation of civil rights activists turned the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter into the clarion call for a new social justice movement.”

There weren’t that much commotion when he came there as a senator but as soon as he came there as a president, many wanted to cover this special event. The reason behind this visit is even more interesting. Obama came specifically to visit prison where Nelson Mandela was once at before. This shows how much he honors Mandela and how he wanted to pay his respect to him by going to the prison that couldn’t restrict Mandela’s burning urge to fight for equality.]]> 2016-05-15 01:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/boba/fr1045quv4rd/wish/110895834 boba https://padlet.com/boba/fr1045quv4rd/wish/110895835 2016-05-15 00:53:14 UTC https://padlet.com/boba/fr1045quv4rd/wish/110895835 boba https://padlet.com/boba/fr1045quv4rd/wish/110895836 “Despite the dark associations of violence, Obama said that Selma should be a place of optimism: ‘Selma teaches us, too, that action requires that we shed our cynicism. For when it comes to the pursuit of justice, we can afford neither complacency nor despair.’ ”
