The Great Debates

Praying for our leader!


I hung around wednesday evening at CBU and searched all over for somewhere to watch the last debate for this years presidential election. The great debates were showing in the theatre. KTIE 590AM came out to broadcast live at CBU. I walked in to the theatre to see a gigantic screen on stage and there was senator Obama speaking about his views. This was truly a sight for me a college student.

This is one debate and election that will go down in history. An African-American male running for presidency. Wow! I can truly say that I was excited. People who have never voted before are talking and registering to get their chance of a life time. The last day to register is Oct. 20th 2008. So much excitment, and emotions is going into this years election.

I am glad that I can be apart of this event. I will be in prayer for Obama that he allows God to continue to be the Lord of this great nation. The topic that shook me as a college student was the part about education. How he will allow college students to have $4,000 deducted off their loan payments each year if they do something productive in the community.

It is really a challenge for college students. They have to be careful in what type of career they chose because they will have to pay college loans off. I can't expect to look for a low paying job if I plan to pay back my loans on time. Many times I hear people who want to continue with graduate school but feel that they don't want to heap more loans.

I believe that a change is coming, and I pray to God that it's for the good of us all.

God Bless.
