Obama Americans tuned into speech tonight

In my opinion, there has surfaced enough evidence to say there are Obama Americans and otherwise. I will not expose myself to a specific description of what I consider the “Otherwise” Americans but instead pursue my first desire to write this post.

I honest to God can not say enough nice things about the canvassers and other teams supporting Pres. Obama when he was campaigning. Those people are the true America. They are not overtly seeking fame nor glory, special treatment of any kind and above all, make-shift adulations. They have disappeared again into the wood-works of America. Just your everyday Joe, Jane, Jamal and Shamika citizen. No desire to cluster, mingle or continue to be part of an extension of a “Mission Accomplished”. They have disappeared from whence they came: Spending most of their time with their children’s PTA, helping their spouses running their business, turning their attention once again to their charity work and doing other things they were doing before heeding the clarion call to help Sen. Obama become President of the United States.

I am suspicious why the media does not want to call the President’s speech tonight his “State of the Union Address”. I suspect media does not want the adulations associated with such a prestigious speech this moment in history. Yes, I contend media wants to minimize the importance of the occasion and, if at all possible, ignore it as they did the twelve state wining spree of Sen. Obama during the primaries. There are no gray areas the way I choose to interpret and understand the situation. The man said, “…..tonight I fear no man for I have been to the mountaintop and I have seen the promised land”.

During the President’s speech tonight, I am still going to cry. Cry my heart out! Praise the Lord!
As always,
BB
