CONGRATULATIONS to Obama & to the American People!
What an incredibly important milestone in American history!!!! I am so proud of this country for selecting this dynamic, multi-racial, multi-cultural, inspirational leader!! He inherits incredibly difficult challenges ahead, but this American decision is transformational – & will be across the world!
Taken from Obama’s book, “The Audacity of Hope.”
“You don’t need a poll to know that the vast majority of Americans – Republican, Democrat, and Independent – are weary of the dead zone that politics has become, in which narrow interests vie for advantage and ideological minorities seek to impose their own versions of absolute truth. Whether we’re from red states or blue states, we feel in our gut the lack of honesty, rigor, and common sense in our policy debates and dislike what appears to be a continuous menu of false or cramped choices. Religious or secular, black, white, or brown, we sense – correctly – that the nation’s most significant challenges are being ignored…
The year I was born, President Kennedy stated in his inaugural address: “To those peoples in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required – not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.”
To the thousands who paved his way with their lives - Thank You for this moment in history… and for the years to come!
