I want this man to be my president, not the imposter who currently resides in the White House. Before I read this Commencement Address I would have said I wanted Jeb Bartlett as my president, but old Jeb is fiction while this man is real. Talk about firing the imagination and inspiring the soul...this guy has it. I know, I know...electing a black man as our president has about as much chance of happening as that proverbial snowball has of surviving Hell. Well, sobeit...I'd work for this guy in a heartbeat whether he has a prayer or not. When he was running for the senate, I was impressed with his rhetoric and his ideas. It now suddenly dawns on me that he could, in fact, be the one who picks up JFK's fallen mantle and leads us on to a better future.

We need to be inspired again. We need to look up from the morass of self-absorbtion in which we currently seem to be mired, and, once we have looked up, we need to begin to pursue those higher ideals we seem to have temporarily lost sight of. I would write more, but I'm off to find the inevitable "Barak in 2008" site which has to be out there. When I find it, I'll post the URL here.
