America the Brave

I’ll confess that I –along with many other’s, no doubt– am usually very cynical about politics.   Still am, to be frank.   After all, a politician is a politician, and –at least to my uneducated eyes– always asking us for power.

Granted, that’s what democracy’s about.   And a better option than violent revolution, which the world has seen many times, and cruel absolute monarchies, or dictatorships, which we’ve also seen a horde of.

But …

Enough, already!

President-Elect Barack Obama is a politician, and one with a hellishly good ability to speak in public –which should be obvious by now,if you look at his victory speech, linked into the title, above– but I can’t help but think is, if not a good choice by the people of the USA, then certainly one that promises an interesting, and hopefully beneficial,  four years ahead of us.   And certainly a brave one, given the USA’s many known racial, religious, and other divides.

Let’s see what’s out there.
