G'day Everyone.
It seems to steal a motto from President Obama's theme when he ran for election 2 years ago. But it seems in Massachusetts that voters did something they never thought it would happen. Yes, Change we can! For a long time the state was the golden age of Kennedy's Democratic kingdom.
But last night, the Kennedy saga finally died. I was kind of in shock. I never thought the State of Massachusetts would go to the republican side. It did! Some thought Kennedy's legacy has finally caught up with the times. People may have been afraid of him, but now they're speaking their thoughts out.
Was it a formal review on President Obama and the democrats? It could be. After 8 years of voter ire at the republican party over how Bush handled the country, we shifted to Obama and the Democrats. Suddenly, after 1 year in office, it could be Obama's first notice of how the country is shifting again.
Yes, Change we can by the voters can happen. In the next few months, there will be more elections in different states. Should the Democrats be prepared for voter ire? Yes. What has happened in 2008 could mean 2010 is the political change now.
President Obama should tell his speech writer to choose his/her words carefully. Perhaps Obama himself should make the final draft carefully and be prepared to speak honestly in the coming State of the Union speech since that will be a very major moment in his office.
Perhaps, voters are making one statement: Balance of power must be in congress. If Congress ever become equal power some day, perhaps that is what will help our country.
So, let's look at it clearly. Every political person ought to see it as a formal notice by the voters: Yes, Change we can! Yes, we will! Power to the every day average Joe citizen who knows what is going on out there.
Massachusetts voters, you did wonderful! Salute!
