Good News is a Great Country!

On January 20, 2009, our country fully embraced the Good News of hope, optimism, perserverance and community. With the election of Barack Obama as our 44th president, the United States proved once again that we are a nation built on a foundation of Good News. And by embracing the Good News of this election, we are now able to say, with confidence, that the world our children will grow up in, will be very different, and yes, better than the one we grew up in. And that's a GREAT thing. But wait, there's more...

Whether Republican or Democrat, the election of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States signaled both a turning point in how children and adults look at the world, but also how they look at themselves. Our country's firm embrace of the mere concept of hope, of something better is the perfect illustration of what Good News is all about. Across the country Americans believed that something better could happen in our world, and more importantly, they realized that for Good News to happen, they will play an active role in creating the Good News and sustaining the Good News.

And with that, people young and old, Black and White, rich and poor did their part in their communities, with friends and across the internet to inspire themselves and others to make a change. Without looking at the Good News of what could lie ahead, this would not have been possible.

Millions, upon millions, gave of their time, passion and for many, money all in the interest of what "could" happen, all with the hope and assumption that it would happen. And now that it has we now realize that hope can become reality, that dreams can be realized and that our country can change for the better. The underlying and most important thing is that it all happened as a result of our effort and our belief in the Good News of us.

So, the Doctor of Good News give a major show of gratitude to our president, Barack Obama for splashing a motivational bucket of cold water on our collective faces and waking us up to what could lie ahead, and refreshing our inherent desire to believe in our country and ourselves once again. Thanks President Obama. And now that you've got your work to do, we as a country will do our part to ensure that our motivation, drive and most of all, hope continues to move our country and our world ahead. Yes, we are GOOD NEWS and man, it feels good!
