My good pal Dana (aka Aging Snob) posted a political dream the other day that made me grin ear to ear and I have to share it. Â Here is the beginning excerpt, takepart to read the entire thing:
From “I Have a Dream”
Obama becomes president in a tight raise thanks to Ohio going Blue.
However, the first four years are tough and not that much progress is made except for health care reform (yes!). We painfully pull out of Iraq, slowly and no, it’s not easy. More Americans die serving as a reminder NEVER AGAIN should we wage preemptive war. Obama gets reelected, even though he has not delivered the immense change promised (this is truly impossible–but who are we to criticize lofty ambitions?)….
Obama wins by landslide.
7 years later (2015):
The economy is booming, the war in Iraq is finished (although that nation is left in complete ruin, like Lebanon in the 80’s), relations are good with China and with Russia ($$$ does make the world go round) and gay marriage is an amendment. Pro Choice Supreme Court judges outnumber Pro Life (that’s a long stretch, I know)….
To read the rest go HERE and takepart and register to vote if you haven’t - it’s the best way you can work to make your election dreams come true.
