Obama 4 President...Yes We Can!

There aren't enough words to describe the respect I have for this man. his powerful, moving, and completely sincere speech proves to me that he could possibly be one of the greatest presidents we will ever have.

It appears that many of y'all are expecting some perfect person to be our next president. Wow, are you gonna be in for a big disappointment.It's impossible for me to understand how anyone could listen to Obama's entire speech and not "get" what he's trying to tell us. In our troubled world - and is there a one of you that would not agree it IS troubled? - Obama is trying to pull us all together and remind us that as different as each of us are we are tied together as Americans...each with our own shame, faults, insecurities, prejudices...but still Americans striving to reclaim some of what we've lost and move ahead.

Of course most of the anti-Obama crowd did NOT watch his entire speech or would consider reading the transcript so naturally they can't grasp the significance of his explanation in it's entirety. These same people are so used to hearing lies from our present administration they are completely incapable of recognizing honesty and sincerity from a politician. After 7-1/2 years of Bush, we now have a chance to be represented in the highest office of our country in a completely different way, with a leader that America can finally be proud of...,and that the rest of the world can finally respect instead of hate.McCain, who would be the same as Bush, will be a divider just as Bush has been. Hillary can't garner respect...she too is divisive and abrasive. Only Obama has a vision for something different, something bigger than each one of us individually. Inexperience? Look where "experience" has gotten us so far. Wisdom doesn't come from plodding along in the wrong direction for years. It's something you either have or you don't and Obama's got it.The media is certainly partially to blame for not only this latest witchhunt but all the ones that are still to come...and there WILL be more. It's a long time until November.

National media gets hold of something inflammatory and they throw it in our faces on every TV channel and every newspaper and then local media picks up the ball and keeps running. We've got a war out of control, fifteen billion dollars a month of OUR money funding it, the economy sinking like a stone and a dozen other truly serious issues...and all McCain and his supporters have to do is sit back and enjoy the ramblings of some crazy preacher spread out in every media outlet that exists.But the tide will turn...it always does. McCain will do something incredibly stupid, or maybe something simple and not that important at all that will be blown up and plastered all over the news and that will replace Obama's stupid preacher for awhile ....and the focus will once again be off what's really important in this election. But that's the American public. :( We get all riled up for fifteen minutes and then it's over until the next thing happens to be all riled up over. We're like Chicken Little..."The sky's falling! The sky's falling!" But then it doesn't and everybody but the hard core radicals move on.I wouldn't have ever said this two years ago ago, but this episode with Obama's preacher...it WILL go away. It will be forgiven and forgotten, except by those so rabid they wouldn't have forgiven Mother Teresa if she transgressed. If anything, I think he's proven himself to be even more worthy of the presidency. :)
