One of the more poetic American sayings is, "the opera ain't over till the fat lady sings". Meaning, it ain't over till its over as Yogi Berra said. If you listen hard on the west coast of the UK, perhaps you can hear the fat lady singing. After nearly 2 years of politics, that seem more like 20, our national elections are about to begin. We are about to make history, most likely electing the first non European President ever, or electing the first female VP.
Our nation faces many difficult times, little did we know in 2004 that only 9 months into his Presidency George W Bush would be faced with the first attack on our homeland I believe since the Brits invaded in 1812. No one knows for sure what faces our new President or our nation, we can only hope that he has the wisdom to lead us through whatever hurdles we face. We can also hope that our world allies especially the UK and Australia will continue to be with us in a world increasingly hostile to the USA. We need all the help we can get.
