The face of America

President-elect Obama has inspired Americans and indeed world citizens to hope for change. This is a phenomena that simply required one to watch; although we were all able to participate with our vote. Americans heard the call and voted for change.

Now its time for America to roll up our sleeves and get to work. The sentiment to come together and the hope inspired by Barack Obama is something unlike anything that we have seen before. This is finally our America, its my America and its your America. Perhaps, America has come of age.

Obama promises "we are the ones we've been waiting for..." The ability to envision something better in each of us is a powerful allure. Obama mentioned in his speech on race that we have to be faithful to the notion that what is right in America is greater than that which is wrong with America.

A reminder that good and bad is entwined in humankind. When we look in the mirror and try to conquer that which is evil using that which is good from within. These are powerful symbols that bring hope to America and the world.

Now that the election is over I think it is important to bring the news of Obama to the 46% of the people who have been prevented from the full measure of this person. As our President those who voted for him are now responsible to ensure that change is delivered and hope fullfilled.
