like he's handled his campaign, we've absolutely nothing to worry about. I wasn't surprised by his reaction today. That's saying something, because since Bush, and perhaps before Bush, I've been a very cynical, bitter person as a reaction to the injustice and corruption I've seen.
I was very impressed with Obama when he first came on the scene, and knew he would be our first black President, but a few years later, I just forgot about all that after more bitterness and cynicism piled on. I also was disappointed in some of his votes. I wasn't all that serious about Obama in this election, because frankly, he sounded too good to be true, and I just didn't buy it. Now after watching him, I pretty much know what to expect from him, and he never disappoints, because even though I don't share all his views, he's definitely the real deal. It scares me to have this much faith and trust in another person. There's always that fear your hopes will be shattered. However, Obama is making me want to be a better and more positive person and I'm really starting to hope again.
Years ago, after numerous protests and writing to Congress, etc., etc. regarding IWR, along with so many other people who were against this war, and seeing all that amount to nothing, I believed that "one person can change the world' was total crap. Now I'm starting to believe again that this just might be true, because Obama seems to be inspiring me to change. He's just one person, and look what he's done? It's pretty amazing.
