One year ago in Denver…so much hope
What a scene it was that night in Denver at the Mile High Stadium one year ago today. People stood in line in the hot sun for hours to get a seat…and then that evening inside the stadium, the feeling was electric. Supporters–black, white, young, old, gay, straight and every other stripe–hung on Obama’s every word. Flags waved in the humid air. Thousands jumped to their feet, holding “Change” signs above their heads. Thunderous applause roared like none I’d ever heard. Hope, hope was alive. Can we get it back?
I think personally that hope has not went away rather citizens have lost the energy that was there to be held accountable. People really get involved during the election but after the election many go back into there normal routine whether it’s working 9-5, school, etc., we have become content on allowing D.C. to figure out the problems and not us as American citizens.
