I Salute You Mr. President



Wake up world, a new regime is about to get started. The paradigm has shifted. We have just been witnesses to something many of us thought we would never live to see. A black president. A man who is well qualified to do the job. An intelligent man who has some Christian morals and values. A person who a nation can follow because he is a man with proven character and has given people a different outlook on how this nation was meant to be.

This is one of the few times that I can say as a black person that we were all created equal. A choice was made by the American public that that change was needed. It baffles my mind the number of people who made the choice of a government system that has on a consistent basis left many of the nations’ peoples surviving on less than. Living from one pay check to the next and many could not even do that. If we choose to do the same thing over and over again, then we should expect to get the same results. Changing at least one thing that we do will get a different outcome, no matter how small it may be. What the change does bring about is a new hope that things will be different.

Hope is defined by Webster as trust, reliance, desire accompanied by expectation or fulfillment; also one who gives promise for the future. Hope is what America has been looking for a long time. The middle class was getting tired of being in the middle when it came to always making too much but not enough to enjoy or profit from the dream America was suppose to provide for her people. Obama is the one who gives promise for our future.

Now is the time to look forward to the future. Now is the time to pray for the man who will be running our country. Now is the time for all Christians to step up to the plate and gird this presidency in prayer. There will be many struggles that he and his family will have to face. Just as before the bible says to pray for those who have rule over you. Do your part as a citizen of this United States. Support our new president.
