You know, the people in this country are just plain tired. Tired of hate, tired of racism, tired of liars, tired of scandals, tired of feeling as if they don't matter and that's why this movement is so important. That why people flock by the thousands to see Barack, to be inspired, to feel good about themselves again, to feel good about their country again.
I've often said since 9/11 that GWB had an opportunity, that at that particular moment in histroy he could have taken advantage of the huge tide of patriotism that swelled in this country and united us, but he didn't. He chose to lie to the American people, to put in place his own agenda (IMHO that was pre-conceived before the attacks on the twin towers) and to avenge his father's name in IRAQ. He let us all down on that day and has continued to let us down every day since then. Well, I for one am tired of looking at a man on television that I don't respect and can't even stand to listen to. The Republican Party has become the party of Nixon and Reagan and Bush, liars and cheats and cowards, all of them. There is no more room for the apathy that they breed, for the closed door politics of "good ole boy" dealings. And I'll tell you one more thing, when my 85 year old grandmother can get excited about a black man running for President, it's almost as shocking as saying Rev. Hagee came out in favor of gay marriage.
The winds of change are blowing through this country and I for one am proud and honored to be witnessing the historic accomplishments of our first "Smart" President in a long, long time!
Something I've said since Feb. 2007.... OBAMA '08....someone we can believe in! FINALLY
