The Time for Change is Right Now

Yesterday evening in Detroit Michigan Former Vice-President and Environmentalist Al Gore endorsed Senator Barack Obama for the Next President of the United States. Both men and the Governor of Michigan spoke highly of Senator Hillary Clinton and her supporters. Senator Obama pointed out the simple fact that we are all democrats in the end and that we should all unify to bring change to our nation's capital. He pointed out that the time for change is now and that we can not afford to wait another four more years without a change in direction. He said that Senator Clinton had broken the glass ceiling for women into 18 million pieces.

Senator Obama was nice enough to praise Senator McCain for his past accomplishments but pointed out that his train has lost a few wheels and that he is totally off track on the issues that matter most to the American voting public.

Former Vice-President Al Gore was happy to point out that there was a presidential candidate that was called too young for the oval office. He pointed out that most of our founding fathers along with Columbus were also the same age. That candidate was no other then John F. Kennedy. When elected Senator Obama will have brought major change to our country just by being elected but the more important issue is that he represents a hope of change for the better for low and middle income families all across this country.

The time to put aside hate and angry and to learn to embrace our differences is now because if we can’t then we harm not only the whole world's future but the future of our children. This is not just for the losers of the primary and their supporters but for the Obama supporters as well because they are faced with putting aside their anger and hate for a member of their own party. They must remember that in order to win this fall we must embrace all of the members of the Democratic Party or face having a republican in the oval office for the next four years.
