The historical significance and symmetry of this week is important to note.
Yesterday, while delivering the best and most important speech of her political career, Hillary noted it was the 88th anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment's ratification. Today, Barak Obama became the first African American to be nominated the presidential candidate for a major political party. Tomorrow, Obama will give his acceptance speech on the 45th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech.
All are important milestones on their own merits. But collectively, they show the ability of America to evolve. You see, we do not need to change America. America, is off course. We need a shift in many policies. But the fundamentals of America do not need change. Americans are strong. Americans are resourceful. Americans are capable of heroic acts of kindness and have the ability to do great things. These three events prove this point.
Can McCain or Obama offer us the leadership it will require to alter our course and steer us back onto the road? Do they have the intestinal fortitude to make the tough decisions and work with all Americans to bring us back together as a nation?
I don't have the answer for that question, but I suspect not. For today though, I choose to focus on these three milestone events and the greatness that is America.
God Bless America,
EG
