Springtime In America


I just watched President-elect Obama address the nation following his stunning victory tonight. I couldn't help but think this is springtime for America. We have all lived through a very long and dark winter. We have been through economic collapse, terror attacks and the politics of greed and hate.

Spring always holds promise. It's still cold and nothing's growing, but it's when the seeds are planted. We have a sliver of opportunity in this springtime for America. I hope we make great use of this time and plant the seeds that will regenerate this nation after a long and cold winter. I look forward to the summer and beyond and wish our new president the best.

Spring is a time to look forward. Spring is a time for hope and spring is a time to plan for the future. This is like the first warm day after that long and dark winter. It's springtime in America!
