'Yes We Can, but...' (Part 2)

In America, it's the morning after the night before. All the people, including the President are waking up to a new political reality, one that will affect all of them and the wider world beyond.

With a new political landscape comes a fresh opportunity, to work together.

Thinking back to President Obama's campaign for the Oval Office, one message rang out as the banking crisis and economic gloom beckoned; the need for consensus and dialogue throughout politics..

Whilst that really didn't happen, what comes now with the House of Representatives becoming majority Republican, is a new mandate from the people; for both parties to communicate.

For all President Obama's obvious ability as a speaker able to inspire a nation, he has also earned the mantle of appearing aloof and indecisive with his contemporaries.

Let's hope now he, his government and the Republicans can learn to communicate for the greater good.

As an optimist, I believe they can and will.
