NEW BLOG TITLE, NEW POLITICAL ERA, AND NEW GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION

Well, I am back with a new blog title, in a new political era, and under a very much new government administration in Washington. Okay. I am just kidding. The administration is not necessarily new; the faces are very familiar. It has been a long while since our last post. Anyway, nevertheless, I could not be happier coming back. And this time I promise myself not to let one day pass without my mark.

If you have been reading our posts, we are pretty sure that the presidential election of President Barack Obama is no surprise to you at all. We warned them not to underestimate his power, not to ignore him, and not to make the same critical that even most members of his political party (Democrats), pundits, and other presidential candidates were making on a daily basis. All that was only to find themselves biting their thumbs from his clenching of the democratic party's nomination and winning the most historical American presidential election ever.

After eight years, not only the Bush administration's two presidential terms were over, it seems like Republicans are losing even what the French people call "Leur raison d'etre". Ouch! I know that is not easy to consider or accept, but I only hope that they are not measuring their current conditions just like they saw the candidature of Obama. Otherwise, Democrats will remain in power for at least the next three presidential elections to come. Because if they keep winning the majority in both the Senate and the House of Representative, with the transformation of the American politics with the election of Obama, it is just not going to be easy to stop them.

My one message to the Republicans is to start regrouping the party, re-writing their mission statement, their core principles, and unconditionally start listening to the people. Because America changes. The presidential election of Obama is the most perfect message of what the American society and the rest of the world is about. Republicans are to learn their lessons and change, or America and the rest of the world will continue to change without them. Starting or continuing political opposition again the new administration can only cause more damage to the party.

America sent and delivered a strong message. People definitely want to make sure that Republicans have received it, considered it, valued it, and learned from it. And most importantly they sealed it with their open will to contribute their citizen services to America to make sure that Obama succeeds. I almost forgot to mention that polls show that they give Obama a two-year window to really start making things happen. That election has been no less than an American political, social, racial, and even economic revolution.

Unless Republicans understand what has been happening in America from the past two years they are not only facing election lost but even a complete division of the party in a very near future.
