New President Barack Obama, New Hopes
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008We witness an historical event yesterday. Tuesday, November 4th 2008. Election day in the United States.
As many fellow citizens were arriving to their polling place to deal with several important issues and cast their vote.
Many of them were carrying high hopes to elect a new leader. One w
ho will bring relief to the working class and who have been hit hard in this slow economy.
There were some key events in this important election that was a turning point for the direction America is going to take.
1st there was Hillary Clinton who took a shot at been the first woman who could become president of The United State. She was an excellent candidate and her fight opened the door to all women to aspire for the presidential seat.
2nd Many people thought they will never see in their lifetime a black man in the
white house. The world was watching if America was going to decide by the color of the skin or race of the candidate or his qualification to lead this country.
3rd McCain a very popular candidate with a remarkable record of serving this country and with the election of Sarah Palin as a vice-president was a very tough couple to beat in this election.
4th The economy, with record braking, high gas prices, increase in price of all consumable goods, laid-off, the crash of the housing market, and the losing of value in their retirement accounts. Those are some of the problems that the low and middle class families have been enduring these pass years. The backbone of America can’t allow these problems to continue damaging many families, friends and fellow Americans without looking for practical solutions.
This was a very important election and the new president will face many challenges and difficult problems to resolve.
On January 20th 2009 the new elected president will take power and will have to immediately deal with the following subjects.
- Recession
- Create confidence in the US economy
- Find a solution for this war – preferable peaceful solutions
- Health care
- Ways to help homeowners avoid foreclosure - Create accountable measures for the Banking and Real Estate Market
- Cut down our dependency on oil and support alternative fuel technologies
- Better future for our children
All of issues are not easy to resolve, and required many sacrifices and tough choices but we hope that with our new leader we can all work and find solutions for the common good.
Great Sunny Beaches salute our new president, vice president and all the people who voted yesterday for a better America.
