What inspires me most about Senator Obama is his thought process. He goes beyond angst and socials wars to achieve a reconciling third view. This is why he will ultimately be better in foreign policy, as he will seek a convergence of the best ideas and approaches. He doesn’t want to treat immigrants as scapegoats, and he has a plan that uses tax dollars wisely by assisting those with the greatest need. Even when I disagree with him, I still find his thought process to be clear and full of depth. Obama cares about the things I care about such as alternative energy, taking care of the poor and middle class, using diplomacy first, compassionate immigration reform, health care, etc. It tells me that as a human being he pays attention to the soul, and I feel that he is a good man.We need honesty, the ability to lead and make decisions, and we need the needs and concerns of the people to be heard. We need a president who has the ability to synthesize varying points of view to come to consensus to solve problems. We need to be inspired to do better than we are doing by someone with integrity and respect. We need someone to speak the language of our collective, American soul in such a way that it gets us involved, but also lays out a bit of a roadmap for us. We need to know we are going in a positive direction without veils of secrecy and misconduct. I see a good degree of all of these in Senator Obama. I pray our nation gets a chance!
