A New Commander and Chief

The day has come, and there are problems to be solved. So, now that Barack Obama's outstanding presidential victory is starting to settle in, let's take a look at how our country already is, and must continue to change.

Racial boundaries must begin to diminish. People have been acknowledging the differences between themselves and their neighbors for far too long, so if true change is to take place, prior misconceptions of morality and skin color must be permanently put to rest. It is instead time to start noticing our similarities. We are all citizens of the same powerful, yet struggling Nation. We all live in a world where without immense collective cooperation, and dedication to our revival, we will begin to falter and suffer through larger and more complicated issue.

It is also necessary to re-develop a sense of National pride in the United States. The disengagement of youth from politics (possibly due to our current administration) is hurting our national identity, and our country is floundering for a sake of purpose and motivation. As our new leadership, it will be the job of The President to harness and direct the youth's energy towards the restructuring of American infrastructure.

Our society must be rebuilt around good quality education, efficient and environmentally friendly means of transportation, work forces that are taken care of, and who have potential for individual economic growth, and on entertainment which is less focused on exploiting our material inclinations, and which is more geared towards educating us on world related issues.

As a society, our knowledge base must start to grow as a whole. It must be us, who make the next important scientific and technological discoveries, so that there are opportunities for the up and coming generations to nurture and develop these changes even more.

Change is in the air, so it is time for us to act. This election has forced us to see the problems we are enduring, and the difficulties that still lie ahead. The real test, will be to answer those calls of our noble and beloved President. We are going to be asked for our help, so it will be up to us to follow through and deliver change.
