The big day has arrived. President Obama will give his "State of the Union Address" to the nation. He faces many challenges that few presidents have. Will he speak to the people, who are concerned about jobs, foreclosures, the mounting debt, and healthcare, or will he speak to Wall Street and Corporate America? The nation faces an economy on the brink of collapse, another decade of War, and a disconnectedness with Washington D.C. that seems to confuse politicians. Does President Obama have the leadership ability to lead the nation out of this crisis? He won an award for peace, yet wages war, so it is easy to see why there is confusion. The nation did, in the past, fight a war to end all wars, so there is hope, but maybe it is the audacity of hope.
Many questions remain. The nation is divided in many ways. Will the President speak without making a reference to September 11, 2001? While he wages war stemming from that day, how can he not. But, in so doing, does he not also leave an opening for people to ask questions. Questions about 9/11.
got a time machine and a good camera?
because realistically speaking, it would be just re-hashing a long drawn out subject with no real substantive progress on the who's and how's. Not saying put this dog to rest, just nothing new to report.
The future holds unknowns. Maybe the day will come when a politician with class and integrity steps forward and says lets discuss this openly, not with bias or insinuations, but with an open agenda and follow the different trails and see where they lead. Involve many panels and teams of investigators. Some of the American population are satisfied with reports already given, however; many others are still asking valid questions to which these past reports fail to mention or avoid entirely. As we approach a decade apart from the tragic occurance of 9/11, time doesn't heal all wounds. let us not forget our brothers and sisters that expired that day, and to their memory we shall continue the effort to bring forward the truth in its entirety be it shame on America or not.
Moving forward as a nation through tough political, economic, and national identity times can only be achieved by being aware of the "State of the Nation" in all it ramifications. This must include an honest appraisal of the past, and it is to this past that we draw a question mark. People are divided. Questions remain unanswered. Many "camps" have been formed and throwing them all into the category of conspiracy theorists is mis-guided. The void in leadership, statesmanship, diplomacy, and accountability weighs down on Washington D.C. like an achor on the tail of a kite. Sweet liberty she wants to fly, but she cannot. The winds of freedom cannot lift her and the anchor of corruption.
it may be better to weave a huge American flag and drap it over the Statue of Liberty that none may see it and mistake it for a beacon to the weary of the world seeking to escape the dictators, the oppressors, the totalitarianists and land upon our shores only to join the long lines at the food banks, employment offices, vaccination centers, homeless shelters, and the string of buses loading up the illegals to send them back to the front lines of the hells they fought so hard and dreamed to escape.
