The voice of human rights and what this new presidency is up against story by August H Mallory

As Barack Obama takes the helm to the white house, he has now reversed all of the major orders that george bush has put in place. the first order to close guantanamo bay prison in cuba, that move gave the new president tremendous applause by many human rights groups. this move may have angered many in the military, but Mr Obama is determined to come through on his promises. so far he has been right on track about alot of things. I was once a member of the ACLU the american civil liberties union, but as much as I can appreciate what the ACLU does, I could not be apart of an organization that supports gay marriages. I grew up as a christian with christian values and morals. and even though I don't attend church as pften as I did when I was younger. I haven't forgotten what I was taught while growing up in the church. our new president faces many challenges, his courage is going to be tested. his leadership ability will be tested and his ability to communicate well will be tested. being an african american male our ability to do anything well is always tested. we as african american are always testing one another. we are naturally violent people. and where ever we go, we will react to the smallest thing that will set us off. we are always told never to take things personally but the very people who tell us that will fly off the handle when they are challenged on an issue.
this world we live in is forever changing and as people are born the rules of life and morality have changed. sometimes I have to take a hard look at the way many human rights organizations look at things. our world is both confusing and complex. but every nation throughout the world has a difference life style. many people in america says that the united states has the problem of sticking its nose in the business of other countries. well america has been involved in foriegn affairs since the revolutionary war. back then the U.S. was at war with great britain we were under the authority of the british during the revolutionary war. but when I think back on american history. and see where this new administaration is taking us. I can only that the obama administration will do the right thing and stay on track. and keep his agendas in tact. for the many human rights organizations, he will act in your favor, but you have to step up to the plate as well. many people wanted Mr Obama in well it now up to you to help keep him in office. if that's what you want. or it will be back to the same old run of the mill treachery like you seen before.
