Obama Means Racism is Dead; Where's the Change Though?
I have to commend President-Elect Barack Obama, I really do, not only has he crushed his rivals in the Democratic party and then hired them on to his cabinet but he has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that racism in America is truly dead. Having an African-American in the White House proves this nation, that once used Africans as a trading chip, is truly great.
While I am certain there are small bands of Americans who, for whatever unwarranted reason, do not care for African-Americans I think it is very safe to say they will be mitigated even more in the coming days, weeks, months, and years.
While this truly is a historical moment I have to wonder. What is Barack Obama going to do that President Bush didn’t already do? President Bush pushed this country extremely hard into socialism. I would take a gander that President Bush’s father’s old boss (Ronald Reagan) is, for all intents and purposes, a tornado in his coffin right now. What are we going to get with Barack Obama? No one really knows.
Mr. Obama is smartly staying quiet on the Israel’s Operation Cast Lead but, he is expounding that every American family is going to get anywhere from $500-$1000 in tax breaks. Is that not what President Bush did when he took office to get us out of the Clinton recession? Where is this change we were all looking for? How is this not the same ole DC game that Barack Obama told us he was most certainly not going to play? Meanwhile, there are riots supporting people who blow themselves up in an effort to cleanse the world of infidels in nearly every major American city. Is Barack Obama going to save us from the violence trickling into our society?
I wish Mr. Obama and his administration the best of luck. His inauguration will be the death of racism in America and that is truly a great thing. Nevertheless, I think we will not be better off four years from now and likely much worse. But, there is always hope for change.
