Hope Won
A friend sent an email this morning saying she is concerned about assassination attempts on Obama. Believe me, the thought has crossed my mind more than once, but I don’t want to give into worry because worry begets worry. If I start to worry about something happening to Obama it will lead me to worrying about the economy and about our country and about well, the list is endless.
What is for certain is that Hope won this election. Yes, Obama is eloquent, handsome, charismatic and the one, but the truth is that America voted for a change from the reign of error that has ruled over this country for the last eight years. Americans voted for someone who represents them – a black man from a white mother raised in another country. The U.S. of A. voted for our health care system to be given a shot in the arm, for our children’s education to be paid attention to, for our service folks to come home from a war that NO ONE WANTED TO GO FIGHT, and the country voted most importantly for Hope. And Hope won.
