Today is certainly a day of change and progress in the United States of America. President Obama’s unprecedented victory is cemented. Now is the time for leadership and action. Our new president made a bold step by immediately addressing the myriad of challenges facing our nation. He did not shy away from a crippled economy, overtaxed military, and tarnished global reputation. Yet he did relent in his pledge to lead this nation in overcoming these factors. Change will not come overnight, and will not be single handed. Our lethargy and pride have enabled captains of industry to hollow out our economy with their greed, and our previous leaders to dupe us into believing in an immediate military threat. Now comes a time for shared vigilance. Our new president has addressed these challenges, and asked us, as a nation, to respond in concert. Progress will take time, and require maximum effort, but with that effort hope can overturn despair. This is the promise of leadership. There are no guarantees. But the goal is outlined. Today we begin anew.
