Imagine All The People……Post Election Thoughts
November 11th, 2008 categories: Beyond Real Estate
It’s been a week now since the election and all of us have had a chance to sit back and soak in the results of this historic election.
Blogging about politics is something I avoid like the plague, but the past two years have been such a wild ride I thought this was a good time to pause and share my thoughts.
This election has been very emotional and as Americans, every one of us have felt strong opinions and emotions about the issues that face us. It seems we are constantly showered with bad news; the housing crisis, the credit crisis, the stock market, the war…. We long for good news and it seems slow in coming these days.
For the past few months our office has been abuz with conversations about the candidates, debating questions and answers. Everyone of us were excited and somewhat humbled about being involved in this historic election. Our diverse group ranged in ages from 22 to 55 and knew knew our selection for President was one of the biggest decisions we would ever make in a voting booth. Most of us were undecided on many issues, but made it our mission to find answers to the many questions we had.
During the final week of our political Q & A sessions, our group decided to hold an “after the election” brunch. We had all enjoyed our political soul searching journey together and wanted to share our hopes for the future, the end of this long election, and to pledge our support to our new President whoever it was.
So this morning we all drank champagne and toasted to a new beginning. We saluted the United States and shared how lucky we all are to call this place home. Not all of us voted for the same candidate, it was about 50/50. One thing that we all agreed on is that it’s now time to come together and support one another as Americans. To move our country forward one person at a time. Today, we all committed to making that effort.
