George Soros set foundation for Obama, students say
When I read the following CNN article I noticed either an HTML output error or some other problem with Obama’s vaunted media management. There’s no way his scrubbers would have allowed this to appear on CNN’s website:
“I think George Soros set the foundation,” says student Sarah Karney. “I don’t think [Obama's election] could have happened without him.”
Today, many students at Central High see themselves as the beneficiaries of an Obama presidency.
“Him being president means there actually is a chance for anyone to do what they want to do if they work hard enough,” says Helena Liu, who says she doesn’t see Soros’s influence when she looks at Obama.
“It doesn’t depend on your race — it depends on who you are, the quality of your character,” says DeIvory Howard.
“[We've] got to get past just the color of our skins being newsworthy. It’s really about all the things we knew we could do for this country and now we have the opportunity to show it and it’s going to come through his leadership,” says LaNier. “And, we’re looking forward to that.”
Senior Chris Bell couldn’t agree more.
“This election proves that this America is just not the old America. It shows that America is ready for something different,” says Bell. “I just think … that’s amazing.”
I agree conceptually that George Soros’s millions may have had some influence in the 2008 election, but I’m a little surprised CNN would have been so open about it. Or that the kiddies would have been so frank and, well, informed.
