Its not just the things that happened which make history worth studying, but its those people who were dreamers before it did that gives clearer perspectives to where we are now and where we are going.

Mr. Rheingold, thank you for sharing this.

Barack Obama’s book, “The Audacity of Hope,” contains a appealing title. It has a taste of bravery mixed confidently. You’ll find nothing Pollyanna about it. I will possibly not support almost everything he says, but he’s our president, and then for me, he inspires confidence. Which can do more for just a nation than any amount of backroom deals. Hope gives us energy, and energy sustains us through trying times. Boy, we’ve had them. I’m from West Texas, and I did not vote for Bush. When McCain ran against Obama, I was a citizen of Arizona, but I gave audacious hope a chance. The fight for progress and laying the foundations of prosperity isn’t over. I have seen the quips of those that don’t believe Obama can make it. But step back a moment. Would anyone have all of us fail in order to tarnish the star of an incumbent for whom they did not vote? Trying to keep our priorities straight, let’s work together with this president and build our future.
