The President's speech
I am normally an optimistic person, but when I left the voting booth last week, I felt frustrated and cynical. The presidential campaign had been particularly divisive. Granted, I’m only 21, so not only is my experience limited, but this was also the first presidential election in which I was both old enough to vote and, after three years of college spent away from home, divided from parents and some close friends and family on a variety of issues. Nonetheless, I found several scenes we witnessed throughout this campaign especially disturbing.
