A new era has begun
November 7, 2008There is change in the air. Obama has won. All eyes are on him. Hope. The people’s president has arrived.
We are so weary, the news are so bad, we would like Obama to jump in, start governing, get things turned around. Immediately. We need it. Bitterly.
His first press release was anticipated. Disappointment set in when he announced that we still have a different president until January. The markets did not like it. But they did recover. They closed up for the day. A good sign.
Markets are down more than 30% for the year. They are lower than 5 years ago, even 10 years ago. Did not Bush tell us we should convert social security into stocks because they have a better return? I guess, we won’t talk about that idea again soon.
GM announces that it is running out of money soon. Unemployment rate is up. The economy lost 1.2 million jobs since the beginning of the year. And no end in sight. Obama promised a stimulus plan for January. Can we wait?
Russia is pushing. Wants to take its former place. Iraq cooperates with Obama, wants the US out. Us – their saviors! Pakistan gets nervous about our actions. They have Bin Laden and nuclear bombs. Iran wants them too.
Obama did not smile during his victory speech. He knows the enormity of the challenge. He will need help. From every single one of us. Sacrifices are expected. We all need help. From God. Miracles. One already happened. Obama got elected.
Obama will need to stand firm. Make decisions. We will like some, others not so much. We need to let him do his magic. Unafraid. Move forward. Help him where we can. Selfless. For the good of society.
Obama will have to watch out. If sacrifices are expected in the short run, they must be rewarded in the long run. Abuse must be prevented. Greed cannot prevail.
President Obama will have to include us. Cannot reign as a king and ignore our needs. We want to be heard. A master in social media, he has the tools to talk to us. Directly. No intermediaries needed. We’ll reward him too. We’ll help.
A new era has begun. Direct democracy has arrived. For the people. With the people. A silent revolution. It was about time. God bless America!
Beautiful.
It is a new day rising for humanity, and it will include a new emphasis on the Arts from the most inspirational president we have ever known:
