Observation for today:
Frank TV - a show where the main comedian does all sorts of impersonation of famous people. One of his most notorious character is president Bush. As a new season starts he faces with a tough decision illustrating the change coming in political climate both in Washington and in the main streets of America.
Obviously and as the polls suggest, Obama will most likely become the next president. In many ways that signifies many accomplishments from the changes in the past and will also introduce the changes that will occur in America in the future. Whether that change is favorable or not we will see and it will be recorded. Now it raises an interesting situation. For instance should Frank TV continue to make fun and impersonate our future president Obama? If he does choose to do so, how will people react when a white man color him self to make fun of the first black president? Now on the other hand, if he bring in another comedian such as Dave Chappelle to do the president impersonation, then it probably would avoid such drama, but yet does it raise the question whether the freedom and rights that so many American these day preach about is compromised? If we were to accept change does that go both ways? Is rights available to everyone, even those that may not be political correct at this moment in time? We all gotten move clever at using catch phrases and words to bring credit to our arguments. But let's be real, maybe we just gotten cleaver at abusing those words in the propositions, laws, and campaign that we see today. In any case, I think yes it is just a show, but it may just serve a little glimpse of what's to come. Whether spoken out loud or not, the topic will now be more highlight and be forced to be brought out. Most importantly, I think how we handle and manage the change ahead may determine whether we bring up the benefit or the most common draw back and pitfall with change. With those that advocate change, how do they assure that the transitions does not take us backward? I hope things get followed through. I have seen over and over again where people does a good job of argument for change but yet does not follow through to its completion. Regardless how this story plays out, I think we are currently living in historical time and should be glad that we get to live it versus reading it in a book. Let just say we are living history and it is indeed an exciting time.
