Back in 2008 I wrote an article in response to Barak Obama being elected as the 44th president of the United States, or as I like to refer to it; CEO of USA Inc. Eight years later “Yes We Can” likely has a whole different meaning for many folks on both the left and the right. I’ve reworked this article in context of where we are today and how different it seems things are, yet when we look below the surface, so much remains the same.

2. As a country’s president,
as a company’s president
leadership is so often about
inspiring your people to believe
in a vision not yet seen.

3. To believe in change is important, but
to me it seems that to believe that
one person can bring the desired
change is not only misguided but it
borders on dangerous.
@TheDovBaron

4. The people wanted change and
on January 20th
, 2009, and again
on January 20th
, 2017.
Hearts, Souls, Minds and maybe
a nation were changed!
@TheDovBaron

5. There is little doubt that history
was made in the United States on
the evening of November 4th
2008.
It seems to me that over the past
almost a decade people have gotten
lazy and complacent.
@TheDovBaron

6. As I read what I wrote in 2008 I am
shaken to realize that once again
supersized portions of fear were put
back on the menu and many of the
American public scoffed it down like
starving child at a banquet.
@TheDovBaron

7. Of the estimated 24 million people under
30 who voted in the 2016 presidential
election, a large majority supported Hillary
Clinton, but Clinton received notably less
support these voters than Barack Obama
did in 2008 and 2012.
@TheDovBaron

8. It should also be noted
that Donald J. Trump got a
significant 37 percent of the
youth vote.
@TheDovBaron

9. The shocking truth is that
Donald Trump got elected for
exactly the same reason Barak
Obama did: The deep desire
for change!
@TheDovBaron

10. The time of entitlement and
complacency is in its last quarter
and we, Baby Boomers, Gen
X’ers, and Millennial’s can no
longer wait for someone or
something else to fix ‘it’.
@TheDovBaron

11. Open your heart, your soul and mind
to greater possibilities for yourself and
the planet. Take action, take risks, take
action today, do something to build
your dream and in so doing commit
to making the world a better place
because it will take all of us!
