The greatest mistake a nation can
make is to allow those who seek money; fame & political gain dictate the
pace & set the tone in any election.
While the media says that the
people are questioning Obama’s character, it is actually not true. People are
questioning other issues like the gas price, the bad economy & the dreadful
war in Iraq.
Americans have more sense to want a better life for their families than to chase
trivial issues.
Will the media quit their issues,
maybe not but lets visit issues that matter as they unfolded;
- Obama,
an unknown Senator announced himself for the Presidency of the USA.
- Obama
began a slogan for change & has rewritten what Politics is all about
introducing new players in the process.
- Obama
ran against many Senators & one of Americas most loved Senators
who had a better chance than him & he won.
The most disappointing moment for
me was when a former member of the KK endorsed Obama, it was a proud moment for
many blacks yet the media did not report this as a turning point in America’s
history. It was a ground breaking endorsement yet it was not valued & still
is not valued. To me, this endorsement had to be celebrated especially this
year making the great Dr. Kings memorial & this is what the Dr. lived his
life for, this was an endorsement worth the reflection of the Dr. King’s work
& life.
To all who doubt what Obama is all
about, look at the past 15mnths, he has energized a nation & made politics
more interesting than it has ever been in a long time, give him due credit for
that. Senator Clinton has run a great race sure but Obama has just done nothing
but the same, he has also broken records in new voter turn out & fund
raising beyond belief.
I believe America is on the verge of change & the
hunger for something new has just started to consumer people minds, by the time
elections are here, America
will just be ready to embrace CHANGE so much that the Republicans got to go.
