Yes, We Can
Today, we see the end of the Bush era. We close the curtains over a period where America ruled with an iron fist and sought the best for its political and economic leaders at the expense of the poor, the stranger, the environment and our collective future.
Today, we inaugurate the first Africa American along with a dream for a better future. President Obama built his campaign on the vision that America, through strong leadership and participation of the people, can become a better place. Today, the discourse becomes action.
Today, we are not mere observers. Though we are faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges – war, economic decline, poverty, hunger, disease and global climate change, we made this choice as a nation to join President Obama, take responsibility for the direction of our nation and our personal lives, and create change.
Today, we are forced to put doubt aside, as the unimaginable has already begun to take place. Today we become part of the change we hope to see in the world. Today we say, Yes, We Can.
