Senator Barack Obama offered real “Change” during his campaign for presidency in 2008. On November 4, 2008, Barack Obama became President-elect, and on January 20, 2009, he became the 44th President of the United States. Since George Washington became the first US President in 1789, it took 219 years later for an African-American to be elected into the White House. This no doubt meant that America was finally ready for real change when they elected change in Barack Obama.

Currently, President Obama is working on health care reform, just as President Clinton had attempted to achieve in 1993-94 with First Lady Hillary Clinton. At that time though, America was fearful of drastic change because of the recessionary times they endured with President George H. W. Bush.

However, if the United States voted in a man that promised fundamental change in every respect today, then stop the bantering, stop the tone of racial negligence against President Obama, and give him the chance to deliver the change he so dearly promised. The last thing any humane person would want to see is this affair of hateful words manifesting into political violence.

It’s baffling that the United States, the richest country in the world, will turn someone away from medicare because of a “pre-existing condition,” as they call it.

In Canada, everyone gets equal rights to health care. In England, everyone gets equal rights to health care. In Cuba, it’s the same. France is the same and countless of other countries share that same notion, but not the United States. So it’s time for a change, but you the American people, have to “give change a chance.”

Here we are again, another time of recession after another Bush leaves the office. Let’s not be afraid this time because it got us nowhere last time. The only people that benefited from no health care reform were the large medicare corporations that continue to bankrupt American citizens once they fall to the depths illness.

Sure I’m a Canadian, but I’m one who cares deeply about my neighbours to the south because I believe we all belong to one society, the North American society.

Let’s band together at the official Facebook Group and let the voice of true change be heard just as we did during the 2008 US Presidential Election!
