The Day After!

Yesterday, was a historic day in American Politics. A person could probably argue that every elections holds a bit of history in its hand when it takes place. If you were to look at the history of elections in the United States, you would see a shift in the American Political landscape in some essence. Sometimes this shift is small and sometimes it is a large shift. Sometimes the shift is good and takes America to a higher plain, and other times its like we take a step back and loose a bit of what it means to be an American.

Yesterday was again was one of those shifts in American history. Some people will focus on the fact that Barack Obama is the first black President, some will focus on his political beliefs, others might even focus on his inexperience in an executive leadership, while others will focus on the change he might bring. Whatever you view as the historic nature of this election you can not argue that there will not be a shift in the way American will be moving. That is not to say there will not be struggles and there will not be bumps on the road. For American to be the Beacon on Hill again, America is going to have to work. We are going to have to sacrifice, as anybody who grew up during the great Wars will tell you, they sacrificed. We are going to have to be accountable again.

Lets work together and make America great.
