Nine More Days!

Nine more days that we have to endure before we are finally rid of the worst president and worst vice president in the history of the United States of America. Nine more days to listen to these men and their minions whine about how all of the problems that have happened in the past eight years are not really their fault. Nine more days to watch them as they work on their campaign to rewrite history so their criminal behavior is denied or placed on someone else's shoulders. Nine more days before we finally have a president who has the intelligence, the energy, the ability and (I pray) the strength to turn this country around from the disaster of the last eight years. It's going to be a bumpy ride. We have a lot to overcome both politically as well as socially, (is that Rick Warren I see with all of his homophobic buddies, the evangelicals?) but I'm still optimistic about our future.

President Obama, don't make me eat my words. Be a president to all of us; black, white, Hispanic, Indian, Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Jewish, Pagan, straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, democrat, republican, independent... The list could go on and on. We are a nation of blended people. We are a nation of immigrants. With the exception of The First Nations, we probably could all trace our family history back to an immigrant though some were forced and some were voluntary. We are probably one of the most diverse nations in the world. That's both a blessing and a curse. It's your challenge Mr. President. Lead us well. You have the capability. You have the drive.

We want change. We need change. We worked hard and voted for change. You have a lot of work ahead of you to make that change happen. We have a lot of work ahead of us to help you. Together we can make that change. Nine more days! We can do it. Yes we can!
