A Clear Vision in DramaticTimes
I am so proud today to have voted for Barack even though I supported Hillary. His speech was the best I have ever heard because it hit on all notes. Gone is the aberration of wealth redistribution, but stated better America as a whole can only prosper when all people, even the people who work hard to create profits for others, share in the good fortune.
I hope not lost in the aura of the moment was the substance of his message. This is going to be a long haul to recovery, especially after today's market downturn, and it is not going to be easy. It will require sacrifice, something my generation is not used to after the decade of greed in the eighties and another supply side crash and burn now. This is not the start of a PiƱata from the goody tree.
Barack dramatically reminded us that we are a nation built on hard and sometimes unknown times, we never quit and did not fail, whether at the time of our founding, or during a depression and World Wars, or the Cuban Missile crisis and Cold war. We will not fail now provided we take the steps necessary.
Barack also reminded all countries that we remain at peace with all those who choose to do the same, and we will act more prudently and judiciously as we regain our leadership role. This too is a challenge to other countries to join us in peace, but to make no mistake that America will tolerate any less.
I can only add God Bless America, for we finally have a populist President and administration that will handle the problems as if we actually are all created equal and "one nation under God."
