The Biggest Event of My Life
Politically speaking.
Say what you will about Obama; Love him, hate him, fear him or hope in him, this is THE biggest U.S. inauguration i can remember. Worldwide, this is a HUGE event. The TV has shown Kenya where Obama's father is from and parts of Europe, people all over are watching, and no doubt hoping.
Is it because of who or what Obama is? doubtful, because with all due repect, Obama is a nobody. He may hopefully become a somebody before he''s done, but not now, not yet. Sadly a significant amount of the "anticipation" cannot be for whom Obama is but rather for the jubilation of what he represents; REGIME CHANGE. the end of the Bush debacle.
Odds are that Obama will be no miracle worker. Virtually no one can overcome all the obstacles facing him from the past administration. unless of course he IS what the world is viewing him as -a kind of second coming .if you will.. a messiah of sorts who has just beaten back the devil and who now tries to restore the glory, the peace, the tranquility, the love the United States; back to what it used to be, a place the world looked up to, instead of down upon.
I have my fears too. My biggest being that he'll make a hard left, toward socialism;
another fear is that he will succumb to "certain" black peoples demand that he be more black, an issue that ruined the political career another well intentioned, good man, the former mayor of New York City, Mayor Dinkins. Dinkins just didnt know how to say no. And the result was the worst New york city in my lifetime. Heres hoping this time will be different.
