I haven't forgotten the Bush years; the two-termed nightmare with its lies, its invasion, its economy at a grounded halt; the scorn of the world. How can we compare our problems now to our worst fears at the end of 2007? There's no way that we can go back there again. The only direction is forward, and we have the president to lead us. I am not daunted, I have no second thoughts, and my hope burns just as bright as the night we all cried when we made history. Change is painful, but the status quo is just plain lethal.
We must continue in our collective struggle. Hope is not short of will. We’ve only begun to fight. Our cause is just; a better world filled with more peace, more freedom and more light; healthier children with better opportunities to learn and grow; decent and plentiful jobs with livable wages; clean air, civil liberties. Human dignity and justice are not political terms, or at least they shouldn’t be. What we want is what everyone wants; only we want it for everyone.
