Intoduction and Beginnings

My first entry to this blog will be both an introduction as well as brief explanation.

Foremost, I am a undergraduate student one semester away from walking to a decorated podium and receiving a just-as-decorated diploma. But prior to that, I still have more classes to take and first, and therein lies this project.

I am a first-time voter, once seasoned. With this past presidential election, I christened my voting thumb and forefinger by pushing the electronic voting poll buttons and picking my choice for next U.S. President. I will be forward: I voted for now-President Barack Hussein Obama.

One day, while I collected myself and my things for another day of class, I happened to turn on the television during the very first Obama administration White House press briefing. Riveted, I still attempted to both watch the television as well as tie up my shoes and pack the last of my pencils and books. But while watching, I realized something: in the first time in my 22-year-life-history, I'm watching a new administration unfold that is, in several ways, unequivocally mine. This is who and what I voted for, I as a U.S. citizen have a very vested interest - for more than before - in everything that the administration decides and tries to do.

This is my political blog, and my reactionary opinion. For years, it's been a normal part of my routine to keep updated on "the Washington" happenings, whether it's been by keeping up with press releases, news broadcasts or keeping versed on the op-ed pages. Here, I will reflect on the campaign that I followed, supported, and will now watch unfold as a formal administration in the office I elected them for.

I am a first-time voter. This is the president I voted for. For what I believe, I find myself in part responsible for the fates to befall the world next.
