Yes, electing Obama is a progressive step. Yes, he will be different than George W. Bush. But he is not going to create change. We are. We are the ones who can improve the world every day. We can help solve the world’s petroleum problems by riding a bike or using public transportation instead of driving. We can ease the financial crisis by intelligently investing our money and taking the steps to provide financial security for ourselves. When it comes to the war and our soldiers fighting across seas, we’ll need Obama’s help. Hopefully, I made my point. Rather than believing our new president is going to bring change, we need to find it within ourselves to create the change that will improve the world. We are all capable of great things. Why Obama may not bring about this “change” is that of a historical basis. only time will tell.
