Making History

It doesn't seem that long ago that the campaigning started and each candidate reached far and wide to gain the almighty vote. Fast forward to the present day. Our first ever bi-racial President just completed his first official day of work. This was after a long day of Innaguration events such as speaking engagements, swearing in, parades, and balls. All of which the media swarmed in order to get that perfect story.

Enough of the pretty stuff. It is time to move on to my soapbox. Let me begin by saying that I did vote for Obama. I feel like that he was the candidate that best represented my views and where I stand on a lot of issues. However, unlike some, I realize that Mr. Obama is human. I feel like that too many people have placed our new President on a pedestal. Many seem to think he is the answer to everything and will make everything better. It is impossible for him to make everything better. I do feel like that he will make some changes that will lead things such as the economy back in the right direction. However, it is impossible for him to fix everything. Being human, he will make mistakes. It is not possible for him to fix everything, and even the things he will fix are going to take time before real results are seen. While I think it is important to support our new President, (he needs our prayers more now than ever before) it'ts imperative to remember that he is not the answer to the world's problems. There is only One that can fix it all and he is not of this world.
