Learning about instantaneous slope and related rates at 8 a.m. is not the most exhilarating thing, but I didn’t resent having math first period that much until this whole inauguration business started happening.

At first our school wasn’t going to do anything about the inauguration, and teachers just seemed to ignore it. But yesterday our principal made an announcement on the intercom that first period would be extended on Tuesday, January 20th to have time to watch the ceremony.

Finally, Obama elects Hillary Clinton as secretary of State. After weeks of wondering, it is now official that both Obama and Hillary are joining forces to improve the United States. But if you ask me, I saw it coming.

By Taylor Riddle

A few months ago, Taylor Riddle was at the top of his game as one of the youngest delegates at the Democratic Convention. He already had an impressive resume, including a stint as a Congressional Page in Washington, D.C. In Denver big names in politics like Representative John Lewis knew him by name. Now Taylor finds himself as one of many young Americans caught unexpectedly in the middle of the financial crisis.

Let me cut to the chase. I may have to drop out of college because two thousand dollars is standing between me and my education. I never expected to face this dilemma. The credit freeze that everyone keeps talking about could freeze me out of finishing my freshman year at the University of Arkansas.

So a couple of Obama aides have told the press that former rival Hillary Clinton is being considered for Secretary of State, which president-elect Barack Obama did not want to be leaked out this early. If you would look back at the primaries, it would be a bit ironic to consider Senator Clinton as Obama's secretary of state, let alone any cabinet post, since he pressed hard on the fact that she was one of the Beltway insiders and that she represents politics as usual.

After the hype and excitement of Obama's victory November 4 has died down, people are beginning to look more closely at what Obama will bring to the future. President-elect Obama was voted in on the basis of his groundbreaking campaign. He used the ideals of hope and change to promise Americans of the country that they want to see. But now that he is officially in there, even Obama supporters and fellow Democrats are becoming skeptical that he can deliver on all his promises and the hope he gave to the American people.

 I was watching the election results on the TV at work. When Obama stepped up to the podium with the American flag behind him. I knew at that exact moment that anything was possible.

But then, not even 12 hours later, my feeling of sheer bliss was snatched away from me with a phone call from my good friend Ray-Ray…She was near tears . She was like, “Anthony, Prop 8 passed. What the hell is wrong with America?”
