A New Beginning - God I Hope So!

Posted on January 20, 2009 | Filed Under Blog, Rants

So… today for the first time in 20 years we’ll have someone in the highest office of our Government that’s not a Bush or Clinton.

 Will it make a difference – God I hope so! And I am optimistically hopeful too!

 Barack Obama has a lot to prove and a lot that he’ll be held accountable for. 

1. He’s a Democrat taking over Republican regime. He told us during his campaign the problem was with Bush and the Government under Bush. OK… Now’s the time to prove it. If he proves that things really are better under a Democrat regime than he’ll be a hero! If we get more of the same; rising taxes, job losses at record highs, Big Business Bailouts with no accountability, Health Care stays in the crapper, Health Insurance premiums at an all time high, Health Insurance Big Wigs salaries at an all time high, (hmmm coincidence – I Don’t Think So!) etc. 
   
   If things stay as they are or get worse… He’ll be the biggest Loser! He will have let down all the people that he sold  that a change to Democrats was what we needed. 

2. He said he was a “New Idea Guy” John McCain was old and outdated – Well – now’s the time to prove it. Let’s see some razzle-dazzle and not just the same old – same old.
   
   We bought change, we need change, we want change, you sold us change,     NOW Deliver CHANGE! 

3. He is the first African American to be voted – by popular vote – to lead our nation. MAN! That's COOL! Does this mean we are finally a nation ready to be equal, ready to really believe that “ALL” men are created equal.   Does it mean that we will get rid of elitist organizations that cater to only one income level, class, religion, or skin color? Do we finally get rid of organizations that cater and specifically are for only one class, religion. Or skin color?
   
   

Really? Will we?

Does that mean that the NAACP will become the NAAP? Are we REALLY ready for that?

Honestly I don’t think so. I would love to think that we are ready for a change to taking care and advancing all people, and we didn’t ever feel a need to segregate, black people, from white people, from Chinese people, from Indian people etc.

But – I don’t think we’re there yet. We still like people that are like us. Not  all of us  do, but a LOT of us do.

I hope Obama can help with that.

I really do.

I have a dream that we will all really live in peace as one human race.

One people, happy to help everyone.

 What if he fails?

Obama is the first African American to land his seat in the White House.  Maybe we should just call it “The Presidents House” now!

What happens if Obama fails as a President?

What happens if he does a worse job – GULP – than GW?  

Will America turn on him, turn on each other? Will there be cries of “He didn’t succeed because he is a Black man?” I hope not. I fear for him. He’s a target for hate mongers. Folks that will allow him only one misstep… than cry foul and want to get rid of him, crying for our country out of one side of their mouth while cursing him because of his race from the other side.

I hope we never even have to think of that because he does such a remarkable, wonderful
job! 

FYI - I like Barack Obama. I‘m neither a Republican nor a Democrat. I look at the issues and make my decision who I will vote for. And I guess in the end you hope and pray that we made the right decision, Ya roll the dice and you take your chances…

I really hope Obama is the “Peoples President”. I hope he never forgets who got him here. I hope he forgets dollar signs and remembers peace signs. I hope he never forgets that his job is to watch over us and represent us as individuals, never as groups, never as companies, never as just “the taxpayers”.

We ARE the People. We need to be represented!

Congratulations Mr. President, Yes You DID! Now… respectfully… get to work!

Symmetry IS beauty…
