The Hope of a Better Day


Folks, we made history tonight. Our country will be so much better for it. We have redeemed ourselves a bit in the eyes of the world.

Over the last eight years, the Bush Administration shredded the Constitution and decimated the middle class. They have instituted a preemptive war doctrine (Did you get that Ms. Palin?) and used torture in the name of all Americans.

Tomorrow, though, dawns a new day. The man leading the way has long worked for those less fortunate. He has helped folks rebuild tattered lives. He has defended the Civil Rights of fellow Americans.

I believe this man will work to help those who need it the most. I believe this man is up to the challenge.

The time for change is now.

I hope you're right, man, I hope you're right. I hope this doesn't put a bulls eye on America.

Why would we have a bigger bulls eye than when we had a president promoting all American values like preemptive wars and torture? The Bush administration was good at running around shouting that the sky is falling, but they haven't been much good at anything else. Even their vaunted accomplishment, the surge, coincided with a program paying Sunni insurgent groups to not shoot at us. Does anyone know what will happen when we stop paying off these insurgent groups? No one knows.
