President Obama may have used all his verbal ammo too soon. His acceptance speech yesterday lacked that brain grabbing rhetoric of previous soliloquies. He could have addressed the masses with the phrase which would be echoed for millenniums to follow. Alas, I fear he wasted his best words along the campaign trail.
In no way am I condemning Obama’s valiant attempt. It is a necessity Americans can work as one, as pleaded by the new President. The vast majority of us walk in the middle of the road, looking for the traffic signals to guide us on our American journey. It’s the fervent hope all of us will come together in an effort to reunite toward a common goal.
MSNBC reporters laughed when the crowd chanted, “Na-na-na-na, hey- hey-hey, goodbye,” to President Bush's helicopter; and the right wing FOX News began criticizing President Obama before the man could even enjoy his first lunch. This is not the best way to help heal the wounds long suffered in this country.
We all plan to support our new President, just as we backed the men who preceded him. As Americans, that is our duty. We may have the right to disagree with decisions made, but we should resist the attempts to stifle our efforts to unite as one nation.
As Americans, we all have to share our heritages and beliefs, not contemplating what should or would have been the case if we had listened to the right and left wing zealots attempting to guide our thought processes. For the love of country, think for yourselves and do the common good thing for you and your neighbor(s), disregarding their race, creed or color.
Regardless of political views, please say a prayer for Senator Ted Kennedy. Cancer is a hideous disease. I speak from personal family experience – prayers are all some patients have to hang their hats on.
God Bless and protect President Obama and all those who serve America!
