Four More Years!!!!!!

I attended Obama's first 2012 election rally in Columbus, Ohio earlier this year. It was awesome to see him and the First Lady in person. I didn't get close but just being there was amazing and powerful. Like then, the acceptance speech this past Tuesday, gave us the encouragement for equal rights and improvement for all citizens of this nation - much like Dr. King back in the 50s.....funny how history repeats itself.....or is it still the present situation 60+ years later???? Regardless, we successfully elected the first BLACK/AFRICAN-AMERICAN President of the U.S. - TWICE! TWICE! That's significant. The first time, I think was easy. USA citizens were fed up with the state of the nation - from economy to education to health care - Bush messed up and it was time for CHANGE. Obama, honestly, just happened to be the candidiate who won the ticket for CHANGE. CHANGE was not about race, it was about a new party running the country. It was time for a Democrat and the Democrats chose Obama. Now, all we had to critique him on was his limited years of experience in the Senate and his background. Given that his middel name is Hussein, that gave the media and critics bait, but they came up empty. He won. Election 2012 is FAR more significant than 2008. 2008 was HISTORIC and time for CHANGE. 2012 was CONFIRMATION that we BELIEVE in our DECISION the FIRST TIME and we want to see OBAMA move FORWARD with his PRGRESS to continue improving this nation. Election 2012 was harder to win. He had better competition with Romney. Plus, he had four years of Presidency to critique. That's tough. People were expecting him to move mountains in four years, and those people who don't realize all the details/facts/inheritance of the 2008 Presidency are out of touch. Still, though, he own. The gap was not as large as in 2008, but again, because he did lose some supports and he had better compeition. Doesn't matter, though. He won! Let's take a moment and soak this in.....we have elected the first BLACK PRESIDENT of the USA TWICE! When I see this, and any other "first," I think of those who died, fought, struggled, to make it possible for someone to be a "first" and winning TWICE is winning for all those people who didn't leive to see their faith in a belief come to fruition. Now, let's watch a video that speaks volumes. The President discusses his PURPOSE for being President and does so with great PASSION. Last comment: This is how you know he was meant to be where he is. Its not about him. He does things for others. He realizes his purpose. When you act on the PURPOSE that you have been ordained to execute, God can do miraculous things through you. We are him to serve Him and do His will. Let's never forget that. Now grab a tissue...you will need it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBK2rfZt32g
