what does the election mean to me

To me the election means a new start. New hope. New blood. It will usher in a man, i.e. a family, who knows what it means to be on the bottom rung of society. Who knows what it feels like to be written off. Who knows what it means to break out of a statistical category. Who truly knows hard work and not the all empowering hand of nepotism.

I feel very optimistic about this new president. Already I have heard him talking about taking control of the bailout money and changing its intended recipients from high powered corporations to the everyday business man. The life blood of our country. This man is made up of more than merely written words and spoken promises. He is not some publicists/lobbyists/oil executives personal juggernaut sent into our homes to spew forth their personal agenda.

He is a man made of substance and fulfillment of not only his American dream but of all American's dreams. He is America's white knight in shining armor come to save a collective Sleeping Beauty from the fire breathing dragon.
