1) Pride : We now have a President we can all be proud of.

2) Patriotism : I can feel it already and watching all the beautiful people celebrating reassures me that America is well on her way to a recovery.

3) Passion; There’s much evidence of Barack Obama’s passion this will empower the people. It’s contagious

4) Professionalism: I feel that we will have a President that is concerned about customers, clients, constituents. Since he isn’t a King I believe people will be impressed when they hear this man speak about issues that they are dealing with etc.

5) Proof; Something that the people of America deserve and will receive from the Obama administration. I think Obama will relate exactly what he is doing to succede in his goals etc. Transparency is critical to success.

6) Promise; I believe the American people will respond well to Obama’s promises and People love promises. The promises that Obama made will empower him  and keep him honest.

7) Perseverance- Things take  time but I’m sure they will be doing things that have drastic effects and people will be inspired to work even harder .

Presence; People will feel safe and that they actually have someone in the Whitehouse that has their best interest at heart. This has a powerful effect on society.

9) Prosperity; I think the economy will surge quickly markets will inflate and they will be tons of jobs.

10) Power ; sadly America loves Power. I guess it’s a necessary evil. But with Barach Obama you will see a certain strength that doesn’t hedge our response. Nixon the Bushes know how to start wars they don’t know how to end them. This country will experience years of domestic peace in large part because we stopped the dirty games that we play all over the world.

Well one good thing we can count on happening is that George Bush will be gone soon.490 billion dollar deficit. 27% popularity rating. 4189 4190 dead Americans in Iraq. Scores of unreported deaths. I think that the strangest thing about the whole political climate of America is the fact that this man has abandoned his own party.

A guilty man hides. That’s right if I was George Bush and I honestly thought my ways were the best and they just failed I would be talking to the American people, I’d at least say sorry. To hide out and say nothing is typical behavior of someone who KNOWS what he has done is wrong.

What troubles me now is the silence of the American people. I have every faith in Obama but there is a chance that he may just screw things up further. So let me say 5 things that I hope are a different in this next Presidential term or in other words some things that I hope are done in 4 yrs.

I would concentrate on 3 things and the economy is number one. I would pour money into employment in manufacturing and agriculture these are the ways out of all the problems. They provide jobs and PRODUCTS- America needs products to send throughout the world. Manufacturing and agriculture is what made America great and provided our wealth. Also when you feed the world you have influence. So the desperate need for financial gain will be there as well. This is the solution.

I would end violent crime. I would legalize drugs 100% if a person choose after offers of treatment to remain an addict then that’s their choice. I wouldn’t put these people in jail and waste resources unless they committed a real crime. I would have so many jobs available that people would have plenty of choices. When a man can get a real job that he likes then it’s less likely he will get into situations that cause violence.

I would talk to the people every night if I had to. I would tell the world that the interest of America have changed and I would emphasize peace and become friends with the countries and people of the world.

If terrorist did do anything yeah I would bomb them but I would try to run my ship where no one wanted to just BOMB us. I’d focus on medical and social problems and rebuilding all the horrible looking inner cities. My programs would work because people would feel left out for not participating. People would have a choice to do whatever they want. They can own and work where they want. I would just use these programs as needed.

All the money for all this doesn’t come to anywhere near what we spend on war and for all these fat cat politicians to milk from the government so why not do it? Why would I want to keep people down? Why would I not care about all the people if I’m their President ? Why would I continue to try and run things all over the world, if I need the resources of another country I’m sure I’ll have plenty of something they need? Why all the politics ? Why not just think about a problem and try to fix it? Just like we have to do in our real life?

I’m proud to be able to see a Black man elected President in my life time I was born in 1965 a legendary year for civil rights, civil unrest and to see an honorable and intelligent person elected so powerfully by all the people is beyond exciting. It was horrible to see the racist and ignorant ads run by the GOP here in the backward State of Texas, a place where the disgrace will return to soon enough.

I know one thing I really hope we make it. Yes I’m excited but based on all the factors I have seen in these strange and troubling times in the consciousness of America I hope we use our last shot for good.

Since I’m in San Antonio I wanted to add some local flavor to celebrate todays events
