Stand by...stand by.... In a breathless suspense at the White
House Today, President Barack Obama, the first Black American President, waits, motionless but alert giving him a
moment to realize that he's about to create a moment in history.
The Obama White House speech, loaded into his prompter, the words
displayed there and ready were waiting for the production people to flip the switch
to live broadcast T.V.
The microphones swiveled and clicked into position as reporters
from ABC, CBS, NBC and MSNBC with CNN in the background.. held their breath.
Stand by...stand by... three...two...one....
The digital circuits inside the White House Press room came to
life as his first words, his breathless
suspense overcome as he turned slightly to his screen on his left and started
reading and pointing his finger,
reminding everybody of the Clinton Speech, " I did not have sex with that
women."
It took the President a few words to realize that he had failed
every responsibility as the President of the United States.
His body was covered by a blue jacket but his facial expressions
gave away his pain and suffering. Like
black powder exploding inside the White House Press room his words filled the
small space and the total hush continued as they listened to the President's
speech and their eyes filled with tears.
The digital world made sure every word spoken by Barack Obama
would shoot skyward and be re-broadcasted around the world. The main stream media, six years with their
ears stuffed with cotton, could not believe what Obama was saying.
The people inside the White House Press room had no idea that the
roar just outside the White House grounds were almost deafening. They were people grinning and laughing while
others were gasping and crying but every word from Barack Obama penetrated
every human being listening for the news.
People all over the world were watching America's Uncle Sam's team
fall apart in front of the entire world.
There would be no final test of presidential impeachment as Barack Obama
simultaneously pointing his finger and winking at the camera said the word
"resign."
The single word, "resign" was the most powerful single
word President Obama could every say out loud.
He had pushed the button, it was over.
