I’ve watched my fill of CNN and it’s time to go to bed. Undoubtedly, I’ll wake up to find that title of Mr. President has taken on whole new meaning, and hopefully, a whole new world. I think back as to where the Republicans went wrong and my opinion is that they were short-sighted and sent a 70-year old man on a wild goose chase. What Bush and friends never realized is that little people do eventually grow up! When they grow up, they don’t listen to their elders and they rebel. What Obama proved is that we had an American Revolution for change - a peaceful act - capped off with the ultimate screw you to The Administration.
Bush, Republican Senators and Congressmen (and women) failed ALL Americans for eight years straight. They did nothing but instill fear in all Americans, screwed up innocent lives with the Patriot Act (Obama, hint - hint) and made our lives miserable when traveling abroad.
Even our Freedom, which we all took for granted, was stymied at airport terminals. Blacks, Hispanics and anyone - who was not white - (I am) are subject to profiling. Neighbors began reporting their neighbors to Homeland Security (Obama, hint - hint) and we were all thrown into a melting pot of fear.
I’m not white, I’m Caucasian - you’re not black, you’re African American. I’ve been saying this to myself for years, as I simply did not care for the Black/White statement, as nothing is black or white. I believe that when I wake up in the morning - we are ALL simply “Americans”. We care about each other, we respect each other and we start helping each other. We don’t allow those with agendas to separate us from our goals nor pull us apart as a people. The world will view us ALL as winners (in the morning) and we will ALL collectively gain the respect we ALL deserve.
OK, time for bed. I know I have a dream waiting for me tonight and I’m just glad the nightmare is over.
