I Am American

The prevailing thought was that he would evoke FDR. Lincoln seemed inevitable. A reference to Camelot perhaps, considering the sacrafices that must follow today.

Instead he delivered General Washington. May we cue the revolution (CleanTech) now?

Leadership was absent from the Oval Office under the direction of George Walker Bush. No more. President Obama was able to stand and deliver.

Now we move forward. We can no longer afford to be short sighted as a nation. There is no time to ignore the prevailing issues of the day. America has a responsibility to be a beacon of light to all people. That is our Democracy.

There is much to overcome.

Yet, we have recently witnessed history. If you have a vision, and you believe you can make it true, than indeed, yes, we can!

America has become complacent. We are often indifferent to those around us. Cynicism and sarcasm are too common amongst all men.

President Obama's greatest quality may be that he can bring a community together. Now, in the modern age, when considering the scale and scope of our problems there may be no greater challenge.

The moment is upon us. An engaged electorate has put into office the 44th President of the United States of America. He may be an everyman.

I am proud to be an American today. Yes, we can.
