Iowa Caucus
There has been much excitement in the potential candidates for President. Those were confirmed in a big way by the vote this past Thursday in the Iowa Caucasus. Senator Barack Obama led the way with a good lead on the Democratic side while Mike Huckabee led the way with a similar lead on the Republican ticket.
While we are way too early to accurately declare a front runner for either party’s nomination, the vote in Iowa sent a strong message to all concerned. America wants change. We are tired of the status quo and want leaders who will focus on changing the present system for good. Although I am very proud of how we, as a people, have responded to the war in Iraq, I believe it is now time to focus as much time, energy and effort in both the political process as well as in our issues at home. That is not to say that we should just forget Irag, not by any means, or the progress made over there, but it is time to bring our soldiers home and let the Iraqi people govern their own home front.
Domestic issues, as they should, have long taken a backseat to international issues as America has worked to bring peace and stability to the world. However, now it is time to focus on making the lives of all Americans better both now and in the future. Medical costs, social assistance, reforming our legal system, Social Security and Medicaid are all in need of dramatic attention and reform, rather than the band aids which have been placed on the programs in the past.
