Change delivered?

A leader who promised change, rose to the occasion to win a vote for a health care bill he favored. President Obama in his speech after the acceptance of the bill proclaimed "This is change". With that trying to answer his critics, who always questioned his abilities to deliver his campaign promise of "Change".

This blog does not indend to evaluate Obama or the healhcare bill, rather the focus is the intangible concept of change. The late night comedians and the Pro-Republican Fox news network never missed an opportunity to ridicule and crack jokes on the term. Yet the promise and expectation of Change has changed the face of American politics. With several leaders all over the world trying to follow suit, and several books on the success of Obama campaign around, the real challenge for Obama is to deliver change.

Change is harder to deliver than to talk about. It is the need of people to have things fixed around them, this discomfort is the need for change. To deliver change Obama has to put America back on track and take Americans away from discomfort. The world including the upcoming stars India and China need America to do well. The economy, jobs and lives depend on America, Obama  and the intangible change.

With such expectations on his shoulders, Obama works with the media watching his each step. Presidential approval ratings and popularity polls add on to the pressure. With the upcoming election, Obama did the  best for himself by demonstrating strength and intent to do change.

It is for all to see whether Change is actually delivered or not.
