SI SE PUEDE : BARAK OBAMA MUSIC VIDEO YES WE CAN : SI SE PUEDE : YES WE CAN
I was reluctant to comment on an election, because of the thought that a dedication to "mutual understanding" could become compromised by the appearance of a leaning toward partisan politics.
Tonight, I listened to Mr. Obama's speech, one in a series of presentations of his that have never failed to move me deeply. And, I experience great pleasure to express that, Mr. Obama is talking in the deepest sense, only, about a great need for an increase of "empathy" in our world today. And, that this is the change he asks us to make, that we all feel for one another more, as a first step. And, how this is a non-partisan rhetoric.
It is a rhetoric of a future where the line between Buzz Aldrin's quote, below, which I had adopted a few years back, when I began to develop my philosophy for "mutual understanding" and these paragraphs above and the "maybe" would disappear. And, that we, here, Youand I, would indeed be in: the final frontier of human relationships, one person to another.
And so, since I'm for all that . . . I say, Obama Youand I.

Yes and power brokers willing he will win. While I find his policies tepid, I do find his message inspiring empowering. (Personally I am going Green with Cynthia McKinney, the black woman ex-Congressman from Georgia who bravely fought Bush every step of the way despite being trivialized and maligned (demonized) by the MSM. Being from Texas my vote against the republicans is pretty much pointless, so I can indeed forego realpolitik & vote my conscience.)
So here's to new futures that truly step away from the past.
Greetings Ric!
On a side note: Whenever I hear Mr. Obama speak about "hope", I can't help but remember, that first time you and I enjoyed an exchange. We didn't know one another at all. And as I recall, I used the word "hope" in a sentence to the instructor at Pacifica, and from the back of the room, I heard you speak up about "hope" . . . I don't recall what you said that day, but it certainly was in contrast to whatever I was saying. And even now, after all of that time, over 12 years ago, whenever I hear Mr. Obama use the word "hope," I think of my friend Ric, and our exchange that day. :)
