Last night, President Elect Obama gave one of the all time great speaches. As most of you know, I've been fairly vocal in my support of John McCain as President. I believe Obama demonstrated to us last night what makes him so appealing to so many...he inspires a belief that tomorrow will be a better day than today.
It's time for all of us to embrace our new President and look towards the future. I'm on the record as being skeptical of Obama because of his lack of a track record. If he continues the path he's demonstrated over the last 60 days, he will be a solid President for everyone.
As he said in his speach last night, "for those of you who didn't vote for me...I'm going to be your President too." If he truly means that, and will govern like that...I believe our country will again be headed in a good direction.
As much as I like John McCain, I believe Barack Obama offers the very best possible chance to really inspire Americans and will challenge many Americans to look within themselves and realize status quo has changed.
There are many reason why I believe that the best decision was not made. Hopefully, (and I truly mean this) I will be proven wrong. But don't expect me to be easy on him. :-) There are many serious problems that need attention NOW! I hope he can come through with the promises that he made so many people believe. What a salesman. Now I just hope he comes through with the guarantee!
God Bless America. I hope and pray President Elect Obama is the man he wants America to believe he is. If he is...Americans made the right choice tonight.
