In Two Days

In two days we democrats will shoulder the burden of governing and that responsibility will be met by the greatest minds we can muster. Yet, it isn’t the minds of these people that has the potential to reshape the very fabric of our nation, the same fabric that allows our flag to fly with pride, the fabric of a nation united under the banner of hope, change and the possibility of a new day.

In two days we democrats will let the blue face of our party cool the unease and building tension of a country steadily losing international respectability. It is, after all, difficult to give respect if one is not shown respect in return. Returning our respectability to the stage of international diplomacy will signal that change has, in fact, come to the United States of America.

In two days we democrats will show the world that we will lead this nation to the promise of self sufficiency and sustainable energy, since the power of our nation rests not within the circuitry of electrical grids but in the diversity of its people (and those people are thinking about sustainability).

Finally, in two days we democrats will have to ensure that our party is itself sustainable. Our party is even bigger than Barack Obama and once he has completed his tenure, we democrats have to ensure that another democrat will fill his vacated seat. As we often speak of sustainable energy, so too must we think of the sustainability of our party.
