THE GOD WITHIN
senator obama gains strength every day. his sweep of this weekend's primaries and caucuses gives him great momentum going into virginia and texas. there is already talk in democratic circles of a "deal" between the two candidates, which i presume at this point to be, clinton as president and obama as vice president. however if that is what the poopahs in the dnc think would be best, they better talk obama into it now because by convention time the demand by the voters for him to be at the top of the ticket may be too strong for the dnc to deny. he would be unbeatable in the general election in november. with him at the top of the ticket, the democratic party would be so excited and galvanized into actions that we well could take a huge majority of both the house and the senate. already the numbers of democrats voting in the primaries is double and sometimes triple the number of republicans. the republicans are demoralized right now and are not happy with mccain at the top of the ticket. without the christian right vote and the neo con vote the republicans will barely show up on the radar screen come this fall.
hopefully, senator clinton will, when her lead disappears totally, not fight it all the way and let the voice of the majority of the democrats be heard and followed. i have always like hillary clinton and think she would be a good president but senator barack obama would be a much better one and he also is sooooooooo much more electable than she.
barack obama inspires me to want to be a better citizen. he seems to inspire millions and millions of americans to feel the same way. he can get people enthused about america and he can get them enthused about solving the problems that we, as a country and as a people, face.
(the word "enthuse" comes from the greek, en theos, or "god within". the ancient greeks, realizing that when someone was feeling what we now call enthusiasm, that person got more done and done better so they said it was like a god within that person who gave them the feeling and the power) a leader, be they politican or preacher or writer or speaker, who can arouse enthusiasm in the populace can get that populace to come together and get vast projects done. (the space program comes to mind, jfk inspired the people and it got done.) we have lived for 8 years now in a country whose national dialogue was around fear, worry and war. we were and are told threats are everywhere and we should be very afraid and give up our freedoms to those who would protect us from all those un-named and unknown enemies. be afraid, be very, very afraid has been the mantra of the bush-cheney cartel for 8 years. in those eight years we have gone backwards by any form of measurement you care to use. we are less free and less secure and very much less-liked than we were when the decider came into office. in his term we created 5.5 million jobs in 8 years. under bill clinton in 8 years we created 22.7 million jobs. hmmm. barack obama brings a positive energy to the political table. let's get him elected.

A lot of conservatives would prefer Obama, because they think racism will make him easier to defeat. I've seen that he does better in face to face polls than in anonymous surveys.
I'm not fond of his politics, but it is a shame that his skin color is a factor at all.
