Kanada Kev Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 From Michael Moore:Wednesday, November 5th, 2008Friends,Who among us is not at a loss for words? Tears pour out. Tears of joy. Tears of relief. A stunning, whopping landslide of hope in a time of deep despair.In a nation that was founded on genocide and then built on the backs of slaves, it was an unexpected moment, shocking in its simplicity: Barack Obama, a good man, a black man, said he would bring change to Washington, and the majority of the country liked that idea. The racists were present throughout the campaign and in the voting booth. But they are no longer the majority, and we will see their flame of hate fizzle out in our lifetime.There was another important "first" last night. Never before in our history has an avowed anti-war candidate been elected president during a time of war. I hope President-elect Obama remembers that as he considers expanding the war in Afghanistan. The faith we now have will be lost if he forgets the main issue on which he beat his fellow Dems in the primaries and then a great war hero in the general election: The people of America are tired of war. Sick and tired. And their voice was loud and clear yesterday.It's been an inexcusable 44 years since a Democrat running for president has received even just 51% of the vote. That's because most Americans haven't really liked the Democrats. They see them as rarely having the guts to get the job done or stand up for the working people they say they support. Well, here's their chance. It has been handed to them, via the voting public, in the form of a man who is not a party hack, not a set-for-life Beltway bureaucrat. Will he now become one of them, or will he force them to be more like him? We pray for the latter.But today we celebrate this triumph of decency over personal attack, of peace over war, of intelligence over a belief that Adam and Eve rode around on dinosaurs just 6,000 years ago. What will it be like to have a smart president? Science, banished for eight years, will return. Imagine supporting our country's greatest minds as they seek to cure illness, discover new forms of energy, and work to save the planet. I know, pinch me.We may, just possibly, also see a time of refreshing openness, enlightenment and creativity. The arts and the artists will not be seen as the enemy. Perhaps art will be explored in order to discover the greater truths. When FDR was ushered in with his landslide in 1932, what followed was Frank Capra and Preston Sturgis, Woody Guthrie and John Steinbeck, Dorothea Lange and Orson Welles. All week long I have been inundated with media asking me, "gee, Mike, what will you do now that Bush is gone?" Are they kidding? What will it be like to work and create in an environment that nurtures and supports film and the arts, science and invention, and the freedom to be whatever you want to be? Watch a thousand flowers bloom! We've entered a new era, and if I could sum up our collective first thought of this new era, it is this: Anything Is Possible.An African American has been elected President of the United States! Anything is possible! We can wrestle our economy out of the hands of the reckless rich and return it to the people. Anything is possible! Every citizen can be guaranteed health care. Anything is possible! We can stop melting the polar ice caps. Anything is possible! Those who have committed war crimes will be brought to justice. Anything is possible.We really don't have much time. There is big work to do. But this is the week for all of us to revel in this great moment. Be humble about it. Do not treat the Republicans in your life the way they have treated you the past eight years. Show them the grace and goodness that Barack Obama exuded throughout the campaign. Though called every name in the book, he refused to lower himself to the gutter and sling the mud back. Can we follow his example? I know, it will be hard.I want to thank everyone who gave of their time and resources to make this victory happen. It's been a long road, and huge damage has been done to this great country, not to mention to many of you who have lost your jobs, gone bankrupt from medical bills, or suffered through a loved one being shipped off to Iraq. We will now work to repair this damage, and it won't be easy.But what a way to start! Barack Hussein Obama, the 44th President of the United States. Wow. Seriously, wow.Yours,Michael MooreMichaelMoore.comMMFlint@aol.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattm Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Wait till those 18-29 year olds get jobs and start paying taxes and letting everything jade them a bit. Saying 'change indeed' might be a little premature.Or they just grew up in a different time, without WW2 or Nam and with a much higher concern for the environment and overall welfare of the world and perhaps want some change from the way things worked in their parents time. They might also have grown up in a time in which information is more readily available and in which government propaganda can actually be researched so that one can form one's own opinions instead of blind belief. Perhaps also they came of age in a time where energy is a concern as well and reliance on old dirty energy just isn't as accepted and is known to be on a timer and will run out. Etc, etc, I think times are just changing and I think the old republican way of doing things just isn't as acceptable as it used to be. This isn't to say that the democrats will keep winning but I think it's time for the republicans to rethink some things before the next election if they want to win again (that is providing obama does a good job, if he does a bad job then the repubs will most likely win regardless).

d_rawk Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Wait till those 18-29 year olds get jobs and start paying taxes and letting everything jade them a bit. Saying 'change indeed' might be a little premature. Ah, but there will always be new 18-29 year olds. And like mattm said, the Grand Old Party needs to retool. There are some serious parallels here between what has happened with the GOP in the US and the Liberals in Canada. The Repubs. have a rich legacy that they should be proud of, but they've wandered far afield from what made them Grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
