Obama Drama?

How long will the Obama bandwagon run for?

It's amazing to me how many people have been bitten by the "Obama Bug". People from all walks of life. People who once screamed, "Fuck the government!!!". People who once, could really care less about the state of the economy. It's like people have been waiting for this change forever but, do we celebrate the victory now? or do we wait and celebrate the efforts at the end of his possible two second term? What will be remembered the mark on history? Or the needed change? Understand that this isn't an Obama bash. This is a question of character. So, read on if you feel like I'm going somewhere that you mentally need to be. On December 4th of 2008, I received more text messages than I have ever received in a single day, mostly from my peers. Many of which I've never had the pleasure of discussing politics with but they seemed to be inspired beyond measures. As I read each text I couldn't help but feel like nothing had been accomplished. Not because I wasn't ecstatic in the fact that I lived to see the first African-American president elect but more so, in the fact that I couldn't see the future of my fellow American peers. I had one thought playing over and over in my mind as I read each text and that was, "Now that he will be in office in which way will you lend a helping hand?" See, because to me the easy part was done and It's going to take a lot more than just a bubbled in circle if we truly want change. I have a strong feeling that the second things start to get a little rocky then everyone will be pointing the finger a blame at the President but, who are we to point the finger of blame if we aren't doing anything to help? When you made your selection on that ballot, you made a commitment to change, a commitment for self, a commitment to do your part. So, after you've had all your fun at the Obama festivities and you've out grown your "Obama is my homie" T-shirts ask yourself, "What can you do to help?", "What can I do to assure change?", then maybe we can really see our future unfold before our eyes. Man, I just pray that we don't run of inspiration... fade..To Black
