And So, A New Era Begins...
...or does it?
Has anything really changed? Yes, we elected our first black President, and I'm proud of our country for doing that.
But I'm hesitant to beleive that anything will really change. Obama chose Biden as his VP, a Washington insider if there ever was one. Its being speculated that the majority of Obama's cabinet will consist of Washington insiders. John Kerry, Chuck Hagel, Paul Volcker, etc... All experienced Washington politicians. Where's the change?
But, I will withhold judgement until he's had a chance to actually act as President. I hope others who are skeptical of our next President will do the same. I hope that the Right can rise above the pettiness that some on the Left demonstrated back when President Bush was elected.
Bush = Chimp, Bush has a low I.Q., Bush is a Nazi, Bush isn't my President, I'm moving to Canada... All these were themes I consistantly heard or read throughout the 8 years Bush was President.
I caution the Right to resist the urge to lash out in this manner. It's time for our Country to move past the hate and pettiness demonstrated by both sides, and someone has to take the first step.
