<p>Haha sorry, I didn’t mean to start up a controversy. I understand your reasoning for admiring him, I’ve just gotten sick of people who are already claiming him to be the best president even though he hasn’t yet taken office [there’s tons of people like that in my school].</p>
<p>I too am happy with his cabinet picks so far. Being pretty moderate, I like that he’s trying the bipartisan thing… I hope it’ll work well!!! As for Hillary, I’m not so sure he really had a choice, either way with the primaries they had I was pretty sure that if either one the presidency the other would get a cabinet position. Part of me is still a little uneasy about Obama, however given the alternative of McCain/Palin, I think it’s definitely the right direction. I think it’s really cool that you two got so involved. I really wish I could, but I’m so terrible at choosing who to support. I feel like I can see both sides and often both canidates plans aren’t really realistic, so I’m always stuck on who I should support. Why can’t I just base it of ideology? That would be so much easier, but I have to make everything complicated and analyze every stupid thing to the point that I’m not sure about either canidate. Ahh, I bother myself haha.</p>
<p>I put Obama as a hero and someone to admire because to me, he is. I took off 4 months of high school to dedicate myself to his campaign and make sure he won my state Ohio. Of course, I don’t think of Obama as the “messiah.” However, his ability to rally and inspire people is something special. </p>
<p>I second the feeling that Hillary was a bad choice. To me, it’s not good.</p>
<p>Oh, and about the pastor thing, I also have issues with him at the inaugaration. However, I think that Obama is trying to reach out to many types of people…</p>

<p>I won’t know anybody if i do decide to attend, so getting to know some people here would be awesome. i’m about 99% sure i’ll attend. I’m still waiting to here from NYU, which is the only school that i’ve applied to that i’ll consider over Tulane. I doubt i’ll be getting merit aid from there though, at least not nearly as much as i did from Tulane.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry about not knowing anyone there. Students come from all over, so pretty much everyone else will be in the same boat. I only know two people that are going to tulane and I only live like an hour away from New Orleans.</p>
<p>^ yeah i’m hoping that’s the case. i read that something like 2/3 of the kids at tulane come from > 500 miles away. in my case it’s about 2000 miles i imagine with the good social life tulane is known for, it won’t be too hard to get to know some people</p>
