By Stephen Pate – President Barack Obama has only been President of the United States for a week and people feel better. We felt better on inauguration day.
Why? Because he offers hope for everyone. Hope for a better life for you and me, even for Muslims who might hate us over religion. For blacks he is hope of joining America, Canada and the rest of the world as equals.
For people with disabilities who suffer discrimination in society he offers hope. The US has the laws, regulations and regulatory framework to make equality real.
Who is our Obama in Canada? That’s the new political standard. Politics as usual is not enough.
We want leaders who offer hope and deliver on it. Political, community and business leaders who fail to deliver will be unemployed as soon as the people speak.
