America's potential for greatness

I read up a lot more on Barack Obama’s campaign today, and watched a couple of segments with him (like his appearance on This Week with George Stephanopoulos and David Letterman), and like has happened several other times as I’ve sat down for a few hours to read his speeches, or his writings, or to research his positions, the more I watched, the more I grew to love this man and be so thankful that he’s around, to run for office and to bring hope for change to this country. He is the first candidate that has inspired real hope of serious change in Washington that I can remember in my lifetime—it feels like what I imagine the atmosphere feeling like around Robert Kennedy in the late 60s, or JFK in the early ones. A feeling of possibility for real statesmanship and reason and understanding in the Oval Office—a feeling of potential for America to become great again. It’s an amazing feeling—I can’t wait for the chance to feel proud of my country and what it is doing in the world again.
