America Demands Change

The 2008 vote is over and the American people have spoken loud and clear. We need change. I was impressed by John McCain's speech. The real John McCain returned and I am happy about that because he is an important figure in American politics. But America has been going the wrong way for a long time and we needed to change course. We cannot continue to fight two wars while big corporations ship jobs overseas. Our economy was in recession before the financial crisis, but no one would admit it. I predicted the market would crash as early as March. Maybe the red states haven't felt the pinch, but my home town of Philadelphia has seen a decline of nearly 10%. Other big cities feel the same pain. While farmers might not think these problems affect them, who do they think uses the products they produce? America must restore the middle class. This election wasn't about handouts to lazy people, this election was about rewarding those who go to work for 40 hours rather than collecting on investments that produce profits by cutting domestic jobs. This election is a challenge to the oil companies that they will not rule the people forever using money and fear. This election is a challenge to health care providers that would abandon those who need coverage the most. Not all people who have preconditions can help it. Cancer isn't something that people wish for. If the government is going to support nuclear energy, it also must support health care for those who will suffer from it. George Bush is the worst president of our century. 2 recessions, 2 wars and a failed economy lead to Obama's election. There was nothing McCain could have done not to mention details have been surfacing that Palin didn't know Africa was a continent! How in the world could we have had someone so ignorant near such a position of power? Well, America voted and Obama won. This isn't because Obama was black, it was because he was the best man for the job regardless of color. Congratulations to Obama and to America.
