A new beginning...

Well... A new day dawns on this great country of ours. We have been beat and battered, lied to and decieved over the past 8 years. I have great hope for what Obama can do for our country. Now lets see if he can live up to all or even part of what he has promised us. We took a chance and made a leap of faith in a relative newcommer to the political arena. Is this the change we all want so bad? Will he be able to do it? I THINK he can, but it is yet to be seen if he really can. Good luck Mr. President Elect. Good luck USA. May the Stars and Stripes once again wave proudly and be a symbol of all that is good and right in this world. May she shed all the dirt and senseless blood that has soiled her good name over the past 8 years. May she once again be a symbol of truth and justice, temperance and strength, pride and humility. May she no longer be the stick that a wannabe dictator uses to beat down all who oppose him. May she be a symbol for ALL Americans not just the select few. I am a proud American, but I am prouder now of my country than I have been in a long time. We had the guts to make a change, a big change. We had the guts to set aside our old racial issues and elect a member of a minority to the most powerfull position in our government. I am proud to be an American. (start Lee Greenwood song here)
