Tales of Two Speeches

November 6th, 2008

I was so very inspired by the speeches of Senator McCain and President-Elect Barack Obama Tuesday night. After months of vicious attacks, SNL ridicule, debates, rallies, it was a refreshing feeling to see these two extraordinary gentlemen put down the gauntlets and express their feelings on the country, the people, and each other.

The current economic climate posses many challenges for the 44th president, and we’re hoping that he steps and delivers the change that his campaign has promised. If the televised acceptance speech and rousing music made us feel like we were in the high point of a movie, the way the stock market fell in the past two days has been like the credits scrolling by and lights being turned on. When reality sets in, the problems are still there, and we eagerly await the new administration to take on the challenge.
