The Loss Of A True Father
Unlike the majority of his predecessors and for many reasons, some that are clear to all and others that only time and history will reveal, President Obama can truly be called “The Father Of Our Nation.” During his tenure, in the face of unprecedented hatred and opposition, he has proved to be a unique leader, protector, provider, defender, guardian and an unwavering dedicated servant to all the people of our nation. Sadly, he is now leaving us as president and in all probability many who never believed in him will miss him even more than his most ardent supporters. It has been a long time since I’ve seen such a unique man and president leave an indelible imprint on Americans as well as so many from around the world. The torches dropped by Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. are no longer lying on the ground, abandoned like the dream. President Obama set such high standards as a humanitarian and strong leader it will be impossible for anyone to fill his shoes, let alone walk in his footsteps. If there was ever a time when our Constitution needed amending regarding presidential terms, we’re facing it now.
A decision needs to be made by the majority of citizens and following in true democratic fashion our representatives in government should take a close look at the facts and take action to protect the fate and well-being of all humanity. At a crucial period in political history this would send a message to the world and perhaps be the saving grace for our country and the world. I’m truly frightened and deeply concerned by the outcome of the last election. If there was ever a time and need to change the face of our politics, it is here and now. The world is watching, waiting to see how far and how fast this great nation can fall - after eight years of an epic upward climb to new heights and standards, rather than continuing to soar we’ve now been stranded, dangling from the edge of a cliff…
