There have been few days in our nation's history that shared a moment of unity like the inauguration of our current president Barack Obama. Skeptics and supporters alike knew what an opportunity of healing it meant. Sadly, that unity began to fizzle almost as soon as the next day. Republicans began their strategy of just say no and break Obama at all costs. Democrats began to jockey for positions of importance and take advantage of the country's good will toward Obama for their own personal gain. From the GOP (with some sinister assistance) came the tea party movement. Other divisions arose within the republican party to make it obvious to all that they can not seem to get it together and unify for their common cause, which is purely anti-Obama. Democrats have not been without their own in-fighting. We can see it even within black leaders such as Tavis Smiley and Al Sharton. What happened to that feeling of unity and good will that was all too short lived? When will we learn that we all want the same basic things in life, to live in peace with at least reasonable prosperity and happy healthy families? There is more that we share in common than what divides and separates us. Let's come together for the greater good of humanity.
