This is an event that was easy to sign up for. To blog about why I support Barack Obama to be our Democratic nominee and ultimately our President as of November of this year.
My husband and I have been listening to Barack Obama's book (in audiobook form) "The Audacity of Hope". We are both moved by how Senator Obama addresses the problems of how our nation got into the fix we are in at present and how we can get back to/forward to our true American values. He also addresses, in other forums, how we ALL can help our communities, our nation, to become great again. This is not about him--it's about US.
He is the leader we need who can take us forward into the future, to bring about the changes that will benefit all of us, not a few. He is strong, but he listens. If you have watched any of the debates he has been in, you have witnessed his cool unflappable nature. He is logical, but compassionate. He has concrete plans for helping this country, but he also expects us all to do our part too.
For four years I have clung to Rev. Jesse Jackson's admonition: "Keep hope alive!" because that's all we could do. It felt like a tiny spark in the darkness. Now Senator Obama has said, "WE are the hope we have been waiting for!" What a revelation! With him as our leader, we can accomplish so much! Let us move forward with a true leader we all can be proud of!
