Hillary Clinton can represent Change... Especially with Obama

Barack Obama represents change. We have all heard his slogan, seen his signs, and know that he needs to back it up. Today they have announced that Hillary Clinton is his Secretary of State. Everyone is saying how can he say that CHANGE is going to happen when Hillary is on his cabinet.
I think this does represent Change. I think that if he is willing to look past his own personal thoughts (not saying he thinks bad of Clinton) but know that America's best interest is the real concern. I believe that Hillary has some great ideas and will work closely with Obama to Change America!
During the beginning of the Democratic Primary Clinton had a lot of old ideas, the same thing we had heard before, but at some point she realized that if something doesn't change, America is not going to. So some of her ideas changed, some of her policies changed. Get the point... They CHANGED!
Now so can we. So can America! So can our economy! I encourage Obama to look past personal thoughts, I encourage him to Change US!

The Danger of Fearing Change, for whatever reason

Change is something we deal with everyday, and all of us fear it in one way or another. Maybe it is a social change you fear, where you do not enjoy the experience of being in a new atmosphere and meeting new people. Maybe it is a culinary change you fear? You have eaten the same 10 food dishes your whole life, and dare anyone to offer anything else. Maybe it is a religious change you fear? You were taught a certain faith, but deep down in your heart you do not really "believe". Maybe you fear a personal change? You want to be the real you, but you fear transitioning away from that person everyone else wants you to be. You are always uncomfortable. Maybe you fear a music change? You fear opening up to other styles and genres. As far as you know, your music is the "only" music. Maybe you fear a listening change? You will not listen to anything different; whether faith, music, politics, philosophy... because it is "against" your preferences. Variety is not your thing, and you do not sample. Maybe you fear a culture change? You know people are different, but you carry around and promote bigotry and prejudice in your own discreet way. What's sad is, you may hide it so good that we will never see it, and offer you a alternative view than yours. You see people and your mind has been trained to judge. Maybe you fear changing locations? A move, sometimes not even so far away, can be difficult. New friends, jobs, and neighbors. You do not venture more than 50 miles from where you were born, and would die before you ever moved.

I invite you to open up a little. Change may simply mean improving someone or something.

2008 Presidential Election Results, thoughts of

Sitting here in Asheville North Carolina thinking... "a few hours from now, we will know for sure who our next President will be". I do not remember a time in my life when the economy was this bad. I have never seen a financial crisis like this in the USA; or maybe I was just too young to notice? So in my mind, things can only get better... with either one of the candidates. Now, of course I have my personal preference, but I believe that whoever "gets in" will be obligated to show the people of America a change. They will be held more accountable than ever before. I cannot wait for it! Not expecting a miracle; just a planned balanced change to make every one of our lives a little better.
