A Nation on the Edge

Post trauma, long after the injury, the true effects are realized facing life with new limitations and so a Nation faces future in dire need of leadership and direction, and a reminder of the resilient faith that made it great from its beginning.

A nation borne on backs of misery and misfortune, some have always found great fortune and the dangling possibility of "happiness" has been our sacred touchstone. Now we face self imposed cruelty and ruin...we have ignored our face to smite the ghosts of our enemies, squandered a national treasure in Iraq misadventure; oversaw a civil war not yet ended; and allowed the American middle class - their dreams and security- to be exported to the whim of corporate bottom line.

The middle class in America in in need of careers, futures in business, leadership concerned with their well being. There is a great divide in American politics, the so-called leaders thrive as never before, friends of the leaders thrive on the profits of politically inspired wars, and the middle classes drift into insecurity and dimming prospects... Mr. Obama, if elected, you will have a difficult job, but also the prayers and best hopes of many millions.
