Tomorrow Barack Obama will be inaugurated. We will have a Democrat in the White House- a Democrat who not too long ago would not have been able to run. That is incredible to me.
I won't lie... I started off loving Hill... say what you will, I saw a strong woman with a great love for children and health care. A woman who, straight out of law school, received an offer to make good money at a top firm and opted to work for the Children's Defense Fund instead. When she was taken out of the running, I wasn't sure how I felt and now I am pleased to say, I am quite thrilled with the decision our country has made.
Politics, economics, and international relations aside, this man represents change and hope and has sparked a fire within people enough to help them see beyond the current state of the U.S. and the world and towards the future and how things CAN be. That is real progress. We know things will be messy for this man and we know not everything will be perfect in the world after 1 term, but the fact alone that people have put so much faith in him and what he will help US to do is amazing. I say us because that is who needs to fix the state of this country. The people. We must all commit to hard work and a greater love for humanity. We can no longer afford complacency, laziness, and selfishness. Now, more than ever, we need to look out for one another and work towards the greater good. We are setting the stage for the world our children will grow up in and that is a huge honor and undertaking.
Happy MLK day and may we all have hope for a better tomorrow.
