Can Change Come to America? YES it CAN!
Change, the Day After. Okay so here we sit, the day after the historic election of the first black US President. The history is being written now, today and in the days that will inevitably follow. There is hope for a new age, there is global goodwill and international support. Not since the Kennedy years has there been such hope, such faith, in the America that was envisioned hundreds of years ago, by one Abe Lincoln who said, that "government for the people by the people will not perish from the Earth." We have all felt, in the United States, in Canada and on a global scale that America, in the last few years had taken the wrong path, that government was not for or by the people, that other agendas, however dark, were being fullfilled. But now there is light where darkness once stood. Among other things Obama brings to the presidency is the unfaltering light of hope for change. Last night he said the words which we have long awaited to hear from the lips of an honest president, "to those who would tear the world down, we will defeat you." The United States under Bush has come under much scrutiny by the nations and in effect it has seemed that the world was, by forces we little understand, being torn down. Obama brings light and hope to the world again and promises to not tear down, but build up all peoples. He is Kennedy, he is Lincoln, he is everyman, he is us. If the dark times are upon us, Obama is the bringer of Light. He will not try, he will do. It remains to be seen if the dark forces do not attempt to bring him down. We will wait and see. But his strength is shining through. His speech last night is proof. This man is determined, this is a man of faith courage and strength for fair play, for justice for equality for all. But most importantly to restoring the America that has been lost for so long, since 911, the fall, with this election the light shines, the recovery is begun.
