Two of my professors didn't hold class today. Not because of harsh weather, illness or car trouble, but so students could watch a man stand before his nation and promise that change had come.
The next four years will reveal whether or not politics will change. The cynic in me says probably not. However, I couldn't help but feel that something was different.
A break from fear. A hope that the actions of the government to reflect the will of the people. A chance that we might unite everyone and stop the hate that so long governed a lot of America's policy decisions.
Obama has a lot to live up to. For all the talk of hope going around these days, what Obama really needs right now is a little faith. Faith that these goals are achievable and obstacles surmountable.
We need to believe in a hope for a future created by us for us. Obama may have been the man chosen to lead, but we are the people chosen to carry out these grandiose plans and ambitions. We need to be ready for the challenges that lay ahead. If Obama is our man, we need to be Obama's people.
The pomp and circumstance is over. Let's go to work.

Bush governed with hatred????
The only hate that was present during the last administration was directed AT President Bush by the left wing.
President Bush, flawed as he is, did not govern via hate.
To say he did displays either the hatred YOU are dishing out, or the complete baloney your professors, motivated by THEIR hate have fed you.
