Barack Obama's election was truly historic; I freely admit this fact. Yes, he is the first Black president-elect. Yes, our country has hit a historical milestone. But, just as I feared since the announcement of O's candidacy, we are seeing the beginning of a long, difficult, and racially focused administration. First, there was the chilling campaign song performed by children, reminiscent of propaganda tactics used by the Nazi Party--scary. Next, there is the promotion of having a national "Obama Day"--preposterous! Now, you can order a limited edition minted Barack Obama gold dollar coin and half dollar coin--ridiculous. Has this gone too far? Where will it end? Will we next see a National Hope and Change Day? I say let's celebrate a real national hero, Ronald Reagan. You want to talk about hope and change? Reagan ushered in the end of the Cold War. What has O done during his tenure as a politician? Has he authored a single piece of legislation? Has he played a role in promoting healthy relations with other nations? What has he accomplished besides just spewing nauseating rhetoric about the nebulous "hope and change"? The next four years will be interesting, if not worse. I want to see some action to back up what I consider empty political promises. Prove me wrong, Obama! So far, and this is before he's even been inaugurated, I've been correct about what I see as his true character and his true motives. God Bless America, or maybe God Save America!
