For those who are cynical of politics, tired of the “means always justifying the end”, tired of watching the incestuous political environments – there is hope. America will remember its greatness.
America is great because of the ideals that bond this most diverse nation. Ideals that let us celebrate diversity of culture, of thought, of religion, of politics. For many generations we served as a beacon for the world, not with the strength of our military or economic might, but with the strength of out ideas of freedom, democracy and social justice.
Over the past few decades we have lost this path. We have focused on our power of arms and money, not the power of ideas and ideals - but there is hope.
There is a candidate for President that transcends the rhetoric of the past. A candidate that looks beyond to challenge us, to once a again regain the strength of our humility and the power of our justice. A candidate of great abilities with humble roots. A candidate with vision and courage well beyond his simple stature.
This candidate is Barack Obama.
