What we are witnessing in Barack Obama is a genuine movement, a political revolution that we can all be proud of. Barack Obama represents hope, plain and simple. He is challenging us to step back for a moment and take a good hard look at where we are as a nation and where we need to be heading. This is not an easy thing to do as it requires that we reevaluate the current political paradigm and open our minds to the possibility of real change. It requires not only that we reevaluate our current administration but, equally important, to reevaluate ourselves. He is challenging us to look beyond the norm, think outside the box, and challenge what we have been told over the past several years. He is a reminder that a large movement is made up of small movement of many people. Barack will unite this country if given the opportunity. The question is are we up for the challenge? I believe we are.
