Barack Obama - President Elect

I have been conspicuously quiet for some time especially about Politics. Now I open my fingers to write in the praise and differences with our next President. That I have been able to gather I only differ with Mr Obama on one issue, he plans on supporting the US Government acknowledging the Armenian genocide in the last days of the Ottoman Empire, I think that is a mistake simply because it wasn't Genocide, not to mention we need to move on and encourage other to do so as well.

The United States of America has been so divided for so long because we citizens have chosen to allow political parties to rule no matter how much we disagree with what they are doing. We have allowed them to divide us to suit their own selfish deeds. The republicans doing what they do best, making rich people richer and making the common man feel they had something to do with it. The democratic party has spent the last 4 years planning on taking control both houses of Congress and the White House; when what they should have been doing is helping the citizens take back a mistake of epic proportions.

We the people have finally spoken. We have said not only do we want to change, we want someone who can listen, to unite us! John McCain is a great man and a real life hero that we should look to as an example. If he had been the nominee in 2000 or 2004 I am certain he would have won those elections, I would have voted for him in either or both. We will never know how the USA or the World would be different had he been the one acting in the role of "the decider" rather than a weakling like "W" the man who coined the phrase!

Now we have a chance. We the people have a chance to become great again. We can keep ourselves involved in what our countries leadership is doing. We can actively hold them accountable for their actions. We need to pay attention to what they are doing and make sure they do not begin to tread on our rights, or the rights of people who live outside our borders.

Change is coming. We wanted it, we voted for it, we got it. This is going to take some time, we will have failures along the way, but we need to focus our attention on the future and the successes of the present and future. Hopefully we have learned enough from our mistakes that we will not revisit them simply because we are used to it.

See the light, and move toward it. The power of it is amazing.

Peace and love to all, especially my kids
