If there is one thing we can all gather from the disgusting partisan politics displayed this election season, it’s that we have no place to go but up.

We have an economy that continues to reward the rich and punish the poor, an education system that is growingly unavailble to the poor and a government devoted to promoting itself as the greatest government in the world while proclaiming that “God supports this message.”  (If I hear America is the greatest country God every gave this earth come from Obama’s lips I will take back my vote).
It’s unfortunate that the same people who call for unconditional patriotism are the people who claim victory for our health care system and claim there is no such thing as class warfare while at the same time leading Americans to believe that we must “win” the War in Iraq.

Sometimes, I’m dusgusted to be an American.

But Tuesday night, when Barack Obama made note that we are but one of many, we are one small part of a greater whole, I was proud to be an American.

This is me hoping that Americans fully comprehend the luxuries we are afforded, and the luxuries we can afford.  This is me hoping that Americans decide to invest in those who are unable to understand the definition of “luxury” because of the class divide we promote in this country.  This is me hoping that Barack Obama lives up to the promise of improving the economy by taxing those more fortunate, improving health care and education and redefining the “necessity for war.

Tuesday was the majority of Americans rising up.  This is me hoping that continues.
