Please do not lose focus and believe!

The Election is now done and yesterday was obviously an extraordinary step towards a difference for this country. This Country has been through along journey and in saying this I hope the American people are still vigilant during the Presidential transition. In times of transition there is always danger and a risk of vulnerability because people are distracted. I hope we never have a terror attack on USA soil ever again and we should make sure we are still focused on the security of this country. I hope people will recognize the human reality that in a changing environment we should be extra careful to make sure we don't lose focus on homeland security. Many Americans are expecting big things from the 44th President Obama who ran a strong campaign and in my opinion cannot bail this country out not because I don't believe in him because his change lacks power as in where the money will come for all of this change. What is "Change"? To me change is a balance of power. To affect change people will have to give before they can take. This Country has spoken for a change and will it be for the better or for the worst? I will wait and see if what this elect President will do. You can say one thing but when it comes down to it can you actually affect change? Yes, but it will not take one year but many. Expectations are high and the stakes are high but remember time will tell. This country is in a hard fight in the coming years but not because we can't do it but are we ready to fight for change for the long haul? So when this Country opens there celebratory eyes in a few years and things haven't changed the way you thought and when your expectations are shattered because the change didn't happen quick enough don't come complaining. The reality of overstating the problems and challenges President Obama needs to prepare the Country for years of tough times because if he doesn't think the American people know his affecting change doesn't happen over night. We have to look at the big picture for the future children in this country because they will be the ones who will see the change and not us in his 4 years term. This new Government will have to assume the responsibility for a credit crisis, a banking collapse and an unstable stock market. Many Americans are expecting big things from the new elect President Obama while facing diving economy where Americans are trying to buy a home, find the money to pay for college or who are planning for retirement. Elect President Obama promised tax cuts for working families, affordable and expanded health care and a withdrawal from Iraq while enforcing more troops in Afghanistan while trying to save billions of dollars for the American people. Change will come and life will move on but if you think one man will be the one to change I'm sorry it will not happen. He's the stepping stone for change, hope and a better life for our children in this Country. To do this the American public will have to keep a very close watch on what our elected Government is doing with the American way of life. Do not give up on this Country because the change wasn't quick enough. I may not have given my vote for Obama but I'm realistic in the change he's asking for and this change will not happen in 4 years or 8 years but will take longer. The USA Government will have to step up and do the job for Change. Think wise and take care!
