While the current economic meltdown is of immediate concern to all of us, the clear and decisive leadership style of President-elect Barack Obama is a source of great reassurance to the entire nation that better days lie ahead.
For the first time in nearly a decade, the American people have an elected leader with not only an instinctive grasp of the power of the spoken word, but who also recognizes the desperate hunger in our nation to rise above petty political differences to rekindle our national sense of well-being.

This is particularly important in view of the virtual disappearance of any reassuring presence by the current occupant of the White House, who now appears
The electoral decision we made a few short weeks ago, reinforced by the image of this young, vigorous, and self-assured leader, should give the entire country a much-needed boost of confidence in our ultimate ability to overcome the very real challenges we now face.
