What a wonderful day! No matter what your political persuasion, if you are an American I think that you have to be proud of what happened today. On the veranda of the capital building that African slaves helped build, we elected our first African American president. Mr. Obama our 44th President looked out over the National Mall where there where slaves were bought and sold several hundred years ago, and charted out a new day for America. The pomp and circumstance was heart warming and inspiring. This peaceful and orderly transfer of power is the envy of the world. What a truly wonderful day.
Well…tomorrow is a new day. A day that will start early for the new president. He will have on his plate a TON of challenges and responsibilities. I believe he is up to the job. Perhaps a more important consideration is whether or not we the American people are up to the job. While we really do need a great leader at the helm of government, each and every one of us needs to be responsible to ourselves and our American community. We got into this economic mess because so many of us failed to live responsibly. We consume ridiculous amounts of energy, we spend money we don’t have or can’t afford to spend, and we let our political leaders run amok without answering to us.
I as an American am so very proud of Mr. Obama and this country for the progress we’ve made. But please be clear there is still real work to be done. I do know however, that if we put our minds and hearts to it, we can bring back prosperity to America. We have to believe, and then act persistently upon that belief. Today was a wonderful day…and if we are determined, tomorrow will be even more wonderful.
