"Inspiration" -- Sorely Needed
Today, President Obama was inaugurated for the 3rd time! Once for each term of office, and once again to get around the Sabbath issue. Inaugural Poet, Richard Blanco, delivered a very timely and inspiring poem that was uplifting, both to this viewer, and, according to C-Span call-ins, to the nation as a whole. If words can heal, these words should melt the heart of the most staunch Obama-hater.
(Some Republicans left town to avoid attending Inaugural Festivities).
Richard Blanco's bio states: "I was made in Cuba, assembled in Spain, and imported to the United States -- " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Blanco . The road back into the mainstream for the Republican Party will almost certainly lead through the rising "Hispanic" demographic. From the size, enthusiasm, and selection of that vote in the 2012 election, citizens of this nation, of all backgrounds, must pay close attention as this part of our future unfolds. Chances are great that events in Cuba and surrounding regions will erupt into prominence during this second term for the President.
Because of the history of Cubans in Republican politics since the Bay of Pigs, many expect Cubans, especially those in Florida, will figure prominently in what unfolds. Marco Rubio has a lead in the media and among the extreme right http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_Rubio. Ted Cruz, the winner for the Texas Senate seat vacated by K. Bailey Hutchison, may be a surprise choice for both the Republicans and the extreme right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz .
Voters with Mexican roots, however, form the bulk of the Hispanic demographic in this country. Check out the twins from San Antonio, Texas Julian and Joaquin Castro ://www.cnn.com/2http012/09/04/politics/julian-castro-profile/index.html Which of them will gain the strongest voice? Stay tuned.
Let's all stay involved in this unfolding future. We have a lot at stake.
Stay Vigilant!
