What America Needs To Hear Again

It's a damn shame what lies ahead in the next presidential election. None, not one, of the candidates inspire. I fear the loss of such does not bode well. Where is the person who could step forward and speak such words as these again?


Putting whatever feelings you have towards Obama aside.. were his words not what we need most in these troubling times ahead?

Sadly Washington leadership has become almost entirely self indulgent to the exclusion of all else. It is my fear this nation's best days are behind unless, by some miracle, someone comes along who has the charisma and moral character to completely altar the course in which we are headed. So far I'm not seeing that happening. Is it even possible at this point?

Perhaps only the American people themselves, despite government, can right this ship. Hopefully this is so. If not what destiny lies ahead will not bode well for any of us. Like it or not we are all in this together. Succeed or fail effects each and every one of us in some way or another. Just like a ship. The evil, the pious, the old, the young no matter ethnicity nor beliefs will all drown together or continue afloat to continue our journey for many days ahead.

Think I'm being overly dramatic?
