History

It's clear history has been made with the election of the first president of African-American descent.

Ok, let's celebrate the fact that America has come a long way in terms of the racial divide, let's celebrate that the American Dream is still alive and Mr. Obama is living proof of that, the idea that one can, from humble beginnings, still scale the mountain and reach the top.

Awesome.

Honestly, though, I feel a little more anxious about what the historians will say AFTER the next 4 years, heck, what history will we see being made in the next 4 months?

Our nation is at war, we are in the middle of a financial crisis, yeah those are important, but I'm keeping an eye out for some other things too, like abortion, marriage, and even our Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Mr. President-elect, it's time to roll up the sleeves and get to work. No more talking, no more preening for cameras, no more making promises. Time to start keeping those campaign promises, time to start serving the people of this nation, time to be a leader not only in word, but in action.

This citizen is praying for you.
