Now that Barack Obama has been elected president of the United States of America, we must remember that we only elected a president, not a savior. While bold claims of change were made on the campaign trail, President-Elect Obama has always made it clear that he needs our help – the help of all Americans to succeed.
As Obama moves into his final transition week before taking over as our 44th president, we will discuss what we, the American people need to do to ensure that the change for which President-Elect Obama stood for during the election come to fruition during his administration. Holding him, and all other politicians, accountable is only part of the solution.
