Will We?

Well she did it. Hillary Clinton won the Pennsylvania primary under sniper…eh much doubt that she would. And with that big win, we have her and Obama still battling it out for the nomination. So now with the Democratic race still going on, all eyes now turn to North Carolina and Indiana.

“After seven long years of President Bush, we've got our work cut out for us, and we don't have a minute to waste. So it's high time we stop talking about our problems and start solving them and that is what my campaign is all about,” said Hillary. Wow, her campaign is about solving problems, what a captivating idea. I mean think about it, she’s not going to talk about our problems but try and solve them…wow! Thank you Captain Clever.

“…because of them, and because of you, this next generation will grow up taking for granted that a woman or an African-American can be the president of the United States of America.” Yes the next generation will grow up knowing that it was a woman or an African American man to receive the Democratic nomination, but I think we all knew it was possible- I did.

“Will we take back the White House and take back our country?” Hmmm, I hadn’t realized that we had lost it. Oh wait, the Democrats lost it when voters went to George W. Bush after the Bill Clinton administration, keeping Al Gore or John Kerry from doing so.

Wherever the road takes us from here hopefully goes down Reality Lane. Sure Barack and Hillary can be the new face of “change”, Barack more than Hillary, but they have to be able to live up to their promises. Now the odds of a politician keeping his or hers promises are…well…unknown to me. Change may be what the majority of America wants, but I certainly hope that these changes will be for the better and not cause even greater problems. In closing Hillary said, “I believe with all of my heart that, together, we will turn promises into action, words will become solutions, hope will become reality. So my answer to any who doubt is: Yes, we will.” Will we?
