2009 is here and in less than three weeks, we will see President Elect Obama sworn in, replacing the horrid and treacherous President Bush. With the new year, comes a new president and new era for America. As they sing in Rent, “Time’s are shitty, but I’m pretty sure they can’t get any worse.” 2009 may be economically rough for a lot of Americans, but with new leadership in this new year, Americans should remain inspired and optimistic.
2008 ended with an active social uproar for LGBT equality. 2008 ended with President Elect Obama announcing a push for scientific advancement and stronger focus on scientific research within the nation. His calls are reminiscent of America’s quest to be the first nation on the moon in the late 50s/early 60s. We’ve begun this new year poised for real change and growth for our nation, similar to the advancements we made in the 1960s. 2009 should be the year where the United States reclaims its position on the global stage.
The new year will start with a continued push for equality, as a nationwide protest is planned January 10th to ask President Elect Obama to quickly work towards the repeal of DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Here’s a video that puts together the new civil rights movement that will continue into this new year.
