I talk about hope

Don't tell me words don't matter. Love, Education and Hope. Ideals for a new generation. I am finding a connection with my daughter who believes that we should work for what we can do for others rather than what we can do for ourselves.

Don't Tell Me Words Don't Matter

A note on Grace

First a note of thanks to G-d for allowing me and all of us to see this day where we can overcome the things that divide us to work towards the things that Unite us.

In response to the fact that 46% of America are fearful of what an Obama Presidency will mean to America I present the following advice.

Everyone,

Let's hold on the political discussion for now. The race is over and we won. Let's be gracious and allow the pain to fade. Americans hate to lose so let's take it easy.

In the South as other locations the race was extremely close in some states. We need to realize that the job of governing will be much worse that the goal of winning the election. For now the election is over and we need to allow time to heal those wounds.

The economy had the largest gain on any election day ever. It also had the largest sell-off on any post election day ever. That, I believe is a reflection of the hope and the fear of this election.

America will have to come to terms with the reality. We have to come together since the election is over. For many years Democrats have lived through these emotions; we must be sensitive to our friends and neighbors in their time of despair.

Some of them actually believed all of the lies about socialism, terrorist, and everything else... Many folks believe everything they hear on Fox News as if it were gospel!!! We have to realize that for those who could not see the message of hope Obama provided that they might not be feeling too safe right now.

But this is America; so things will get better. The country will heal as we move towards a better Union. This is the United States of America.

Hope never dies

Yes we can

Yes we can change the world. The inspiration from poets, writers, and ordinary Americans is embodied in the call from Obama to believe in ourselves. Maybe now we can confront global warming in addition to the economy, wars, and the human travesties happening all over the world. Obama mania is not focused at Obama -at its heart its us focusing on our own potential to rise above. 

The ability to be more than the sum of our parts. The ability to allow our positive qualities outweigh our negative qualities. This is the message that has transcended politics to cultural phenomena.

The fierce urgency of Now

A powerful message presented by candidate Obama. Like many, I am still trying to understand who is this person that we have elected President. America has recaptured the imagination of the world. We must now make good on our promise. Now.

Barack Obama: Incredible Speech!

Obama - This is the moment

Why did so many Germans visit Obama in Germany? I wondered about this and decided to bring the video to the America masses. It is said that Obama is intimately involved with the construction of his speeches. Undoubtedly this is a man who clearly deserves the title of the Great Communicator.

Barack Obama Speech from Berlin, Germany

Race in America

One of the most compelling speeches on race in America. Obama spoke about who we are as a people in March of 2008. The delivery of this powerful message was both honest and encouraging. View the entire speech to understand the reason why this man has inspired hope in America.

Obama Speech: 'A More Perfect Union'

The face of America

President-elect Obama has inspired Americans and indeed world citizens to hope for change. This is a phenomena that simply required one to watch; although we were all able to participate with our vote. Americans heard the call and voted for change.

Now its time for America to roll up our sleeves and get to work. The sentiment to come together and the hope inspired by Barack Obama is something unlike anything that we have seen before. This is finally our America, its my America and its your America. Perhaps, America has come of age.

Obama promises "we are the ones we've been waiting for..." The ability to envision something better in each of us is a powerful allure. Obama mentioned in his speech on race that we have to be faithful to the notion that what is right in America is greater than that which is wrong with America.

A reminder that good and bad is entwined in humankind. When we look in the mirror and try to conquer that which is evil using that which is good from within. These are powerful symbols that bring hope to America and the world.

Now that the election is over I think it is important to bring the news of Obama to the 46% of the people who have been prevented from the full measure of this person. As our President those who voted for him are now responsible to ensure that change is delivered and hope fullfilled.
