There is not liberal America and conservative America- There is the United States of America
It all comes down to this. The nearly two years of campaigning, all the mudslinging and speeches will all be worth it for one candidate come tomorrow. This campaign season has shown politics at its worst and at its best. We had moments of angry and false rhetoric in hope of gaining the upper hand. But what I think I will take most from this campaign season will be the moments of inspiration. Whether is be the beautiful inspiring words from Barack Obama's yes we can speech, or whether it be the record turnout we all saw in the primaries and in early voting, this campaign has inspired so many people. People have grown so tired of politicians who inspire nothing but pessimism in the the American spirit. So when Obama offered up a choice for real change and hope, it inspired all Americans to come out in record numbers. Obama has received criticism about his rhetoric. I say, since when is it a bad thing to inspire people? Some of the greatest leaders of our countries have inspired people by using words. This is exactly someone we need in this pivotal moment in our history, A trans formative figure who can inspire Americans into a new era of America. A era where all Americans are united- no matter your race, gender, class, or political affiliation. An era where we can believe in the American dream once again and everyone has the potential to do what they aspire to. A dream that tells a black little girl that she could one day become President. A dream that if you work hard enough you, you can achieve anything. Once this happens Americans will be able to take on all the problems which face our country and change the world for the better.
