I cannot make you any promises about the outcome, but I can promise you that as a citizen of this country that I love dearly I will do my best and all that is in my power to get us through this. To do just that, our nation will need unity and strength. We will need spirit and hope. We will need the dedication of all our people to work not only for themselves but for each other. We need a United States."
..... I am not saying there needs to be a whole moving and emotional speech, I am just saying that I would rather have someone who would say that they messed up... that they will keep doing there best.... that they have a way out but it will take the faith and perseverance of us all...
I may or may not be overjoyed that Obama made it into the Presidency, but I will do my best to fill my part/role in this nation. I will support the President when he needs the support and I will speak out if/when the nation has been wronged/hurt. I trust that he will do what he feels/knows is necessary. I may not always agree, but I will do my best to support when the time arises.
People may blame the leaders. People may disagree. What the United States needs is a leader who can lead and people who can follow. No, No, No.... not mindless drones ... but people with a desire to better the nation and expand the economy.
