Progressive Change Defined: Barack Obama, President Elect
The time is upon us. Revolutionary change is sweeping through the country and grabbing hold like a viscous undertow.
Well maybe not quite yet. What’s sweeping through the country is belief in this promise. President-Elect Obama has not yet had the oppurtunity to make his mark. When he does, the country not only believes, but knows that he will bring forth a political revolution.
Economics talk and other problems walk. Without the promise of an economic resurgance, President Barack Obama would still be Senator Barack Obama. His plan for financial rebirth is what seperated him from Senator John McCain.
McCain’s Achilles heel was his affiliation with the old guard. Whether just or not, he remained thoroughly tied to the Bush administration and the Republican party that’s recently fallen so far from grace.
(Political commentary from the Wall Street Journal)
Our country can’t afford to make the same mistakes it’s been making. That possibility was there should McCain and Palin taken the reigns of our government.
This isn’t to say that Obama won’t have the oppurtunity to make an entirely new set of mistakes. The difference is Obama will not fall pray to old pitfalls.
The country is rallied around him. Many of the few that are against Obama, are clinging to their prejudices like a security blanket. Some are just McCain supporters with legitimate gripes. To those who lack a justified reason to dislike Obama: Give the man a chance.
I could be wrong myself, but you have to think we dodged a bullet in McCain/Palin.
Change.gov is a blog/website devoted to this ongoing transition. The movement grows stronger day by day. Don’t be left behind.
How accurate is the contrast with which we view the two candidates?
