A Magnificent Moment in History

Posted by bonnietoews on January 21, 2009 at 12:14 AM

Someone mentioned that once President Obama is faced with the real politics of the hill, he will become disillusioned with his idealism. I don't believe this. I can see him getting frustrated, yes, many times, but he has incredible faith and a very stubborn woman by his side. Also he has converted Vice President Biden, who mentioned in an interview yesterday on "Oprah" that he has learned so much FROM Obama as well as about him since they became campaign partners. Biden says President Obama is truly remarkable and has what it takes to carry everyone, even the cynics. The 44th U.S. president has the support of grassroots people and they far outnumber the greedy and corrupt. They will rise up if he needs them in the difficult times ahead. I truly believe this. Kennedy was popular but he wasn't one of the people. He was a rich man with empathy, but he never knew what it was like to be truly poor, even if he emulated it for a short time--like Prince William. A good experience, but when it's over, they return to their rich lives. Not so with Obama. He IS one of ALL the people, not just Black Americans. He worked very hard to realize his dream. Faith and hard work can make mincemeat of the lazy rich, and it's the lazy, or the rich addicted to money and power, who have crippled our economies worldwide with a greedy manipulation of the stock market and abuse of slave labor. I don't think he is offering false hope. I believe we are seeing real hope at work for the first time.

Blog One: Homecoming Vets

Together with Heart Tugs, which tracks Canada's fallen soldiers in the war on terrorism in Afghanistan, this blog celebrates the courage and dedication of those vets returning home. It is our responsibility to help them and their loved ones re-integrate into society with the same grace as they demonstrated in their efforts to leave Afghanistan with stronger hope for a better future.
