Mr. President

For those of you whose bedtime is before eleven, or for those of you who decided that the election results can wait till tomorrow, i pity you, for you have missed one of the most influential speeches in history. I just finished watching Barack Obama’s acceptance speech, and no matter who you were, it left you with a tear, or maybe even tears in your eyes. I have rarely heard something that has not only given me goosebumps, but froze me from the inside out. The hope with which he talks is so inspiring. He has set history, and as many people have said, he has provided inspiration to not only the youth of America, but the more experienced people as well. He knows. You can tell, he knows. His cause is noble, and his reach will be global. You would have walked away with such a feeling of hope, of change. You feel it coming, these aren't just empty promises. His slogan was on the tip of everybody's tongue. Yes, we can. And it wasn’t only said, it was believed. The people want change, and with him, they see it coming, and indeed it will. He is filled with hope for not only our country, but the citizens within it as well. He talked to the people who had been McCain supporters saying that he is their president too. He encourages unity between the divided states. No president before this since John F. Kennedy and George Washington has had the support of so many people. People may question the validity of his statements saying that he is not cut out for this job, or that he is lying, and can’t possibly keep all his promises. What they neglect to hear, or rather understand is that he isn’t really promising anything, at least not just himself. He makes promises on the basis of the nation. He has said many times that for any change to occur, we must be united, we must one, and we must be the change. We all have to work together if we want the change we seek, and that is the promise unto us. What people deem his socialistic ideals may not necessarily be bad for this country. We are clearly in need of change, and no matter whether you support him or not, he will have to be the one to bring it. Congratulations President Obama. Yes, you can.
