Living history

Jan. 20, 2009, was a great day to be alive. It was like a page in a book that ignited an interest to a reader to get involved in a beautiful story. The hope of the Obama administration is in the hunger to hear his words; that is seen in the crowds he draws. It is like taking a plane ride for the first time. He electrifies and excites us with his universal appeal and his very presence. He has the potential to unify; consequently, the world may become a better place.

So many on Jan. 20 will remember it as a great time to be alive. It is like a page in a book that ignited an interest to a reader to get involved in a beautiful story to come.

The hope in the Obama administration is in the hunger to hear his words; that is seen in the crowds he draws. It is like taking a plane ride for the first time. He electrifies and excites us with his universal appeal and his very presence. He has the potential to unify our Gods; consequently, the world may become a better place.

Killing innocent people is wrong

Like many of the brave souls that took a stand in print against the actions of the Bush administration, I feel proud that I joined them and was not among the ones that looked the other way, or painted a false rosy picture. For the pass seven years I have witnessed a lack of empathy from a leader that called himself a “War time President.” Some of us understand the symbolism behind the tossed shoes by a journalist that obviously had a lot of empathy for the misery he witnessed caused by a leader with little or no conscience. No one can really understand oppression like the ones that are living it. Bombs dropped on families killing innocent love ones will never achieve an end to terrorism. Terrorism fought with terrorism is insanity. A country is lacking in humanity when it loses it’s will to hold on to what is right. No matter how you slice it, killing innocent people is wrong.

Following behind bloody hands

In just a few days the Bush administration will come to an end. Like so many other Americans that are disappointed in the lack of outrage for no accountability against a president that lied the American people into a war of choice, I would gladly join any choir group to cheer at him with disdain as he leaves the White House. As of result of the Bush administration, harm and death came to thousands of innocent people. In the eyes of the world, the Bush administration walked on the rule of international law. They falsely accused and attacked a sovereign nation. With all the blood on the hands of the Bush administration, the president elect Barack Obama’s greatest challenge is to influence a change of the mindset of our nation while seeking peace out of wisdom with our enemies.
