“President Barack Obama” - sounds good to me!
This is not your grandfather’s USA. After too many years of Republicanism, our nation is now scorned worldwide. We are effectively bankrupt and we are saddling our children and grandchildren with debt in the trillions of dollars; we are mired in two tragically misguided and breathtakingly expensive wars; and we are “leading the world” only in the pace at which we’re destroying the planet. And the list goes on…
When people have complained to me that “Barack Obama is inspirational, but the job requires more than just hopeful talk,” I have insisted right along that what this country needs more than anything right now is precisely that: INSPIRATION. We are in such deep trouble that all the planning in the world will be useless without a real leader to inspire in us the will and the strength to do the hard work of recovery. And Sen. Obama’s acceptance speech last Thursday night struck a surpassingly perfect chord of both concrete plans and inspiration; it was both historic and transcendent.
I hope and pray that we will soon be able to call him President Obama.
