Barack Hussein Obama. 44th President. Former Illinois Senator. African American. What more needs to be said about this man. He perservered through two years, he survived jabs, barbs, and shots from the other guys, and he managed to come out ahead. Like any election the winner is always remembered, and the loser is quickly forgotten, but in this case, it wasn't about who lost or who won, it was about who changed history. Regardless of who would have won, Obama on top of the campaign heap at the end will be historic whether he fails or not. If McCain would have won, it would have been historic. It was the circumstance surrounding this particular election that had every historian ready to blog, capture, and edit this moment in time. Multiple attacks on American ideals, and ways of life, have left us wanting a figure to change the climate and attitude of disgust we have when asked about politics. Ask anyone and they will give you a laundry list of down points, at no time in my 30 years of living have i heard such negative rhetoric. Enter Obama, a man who completely represents the ideals and the underlying campaign of "yes we can" and "change." He pushed us to believe, now we have to push him to believe. We have to push ourselves to believe that if he could do it, we could most certainly do it. We have to feel that if he believes in America, we have to believe in America. It is always said "it ain't the best game in town, but its the only one," and that is how we have to approach this. We have the best political system in the world, we have the best and brightest men leading it (give or take one or two terms) but we have a system that will check on, and end up smacking the heck out of anyone who decides that they are bigger than the government.
With all that said, its time for America to go to work. Quit Blogging, quit myspaceing, and definetly quit Facebooking at work, and get your company headed in the right direction, and get your career going in the right direction to making that six figure salary. So America quit Screwing around. Lets fix this, and help out Barack.
YES WE CAN!
