Just the sense of Hope that I see on the faces of the persons heading into the city hall building to vote...hope filled to overflowing today the 4th of November, 2008.
We will elect a bright, shiny new 44th President of these United States. It will be a landslide for Obama, at least that's my prediction. We may get greater than 65% of the registered voters to the polls, maybe even break the record of 66% just because the interest has grown so very much over this two year election cycle, that and the promise of a new administration with a different agenda. I too am hopeful, hopefull for diplomacy betweeen the world's nations and our own. That a long, tedious and un-needed way in Iraq will soon be over and we can REALLY support our troops by bringing them home in one piece. Hopeful that we can begin to take care of our citizens like other modern countries do, with a national healthcare system that actually works FOR the people instead of the pharmacutical companies and HMO's.
That indeed we can make companies who send our labor overseas pay for that previlege.
People who are rich should pay more taxes, not less...they made it largely on the backs of the poor and dwindling middle class. That hope will reach to our schools, bring modernization and improvemnts to the actual pedagogy instead of the endless testing regimin of No Student Left Behind. Hope that our elderly will be cared for, that our infant mortality rate can be improved. All of these things that have apparently been shelved over the last decade. I wish us all the hope I saw in the eyes of those voters this morning, and if you didn't vote, shame on you.
Best of Luck Mr. Obama, best of luck!
