Great Day!

I woke up this morning smiling. 45 years to the day of Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech, Barack Obama accepted the nomination of a major US political party for President of the United States. I don't have much to say in response to the Senator's speech, except, Wow! The speech had everything: strength, humility, compassion, honor, understanding, and vision. If you really understand his policies (not the mis-representation of them), and still don't agree with him, fine. But, at this point, an argument that he lacks judgment or understanding of the complexity of the issues that this country faces going forward just doesn't hold water. He has consistently passed every test put before him, and then some. Outside of being a POW what has John McCain done to convince you that he can fully grapple with the issues that face this country? His website, until recently, did not have and education policy, and still does not have a foreign policy outline. On such a historic night, we, the American people, have been afforded a special opportunity. An opportunity to exercise accountability through democracy, an opportunity to reject the politics of personal destruction, and an opportunity to believe again. Don't waste it. This was truly a remarkable day. A reclamation of hope, and a belief that our best days are ahead of us. Let's get to work!
