This Tuesday we have a very real opportunity to make our country a better place for generations to come.
Barack Obama is speaking to huge overflow capacity crowds, and his message of hope and inspiration has our young people clamoring for him with shouts of “We love you Barack.” He just smiles and says “I love you too.” Funny thing is, we know he means it.
The New York Times said: “The historians can put aside their reference material. This is new. America has never seen anything like the Barack Obama phenomenon. Mr. Obama's message of hope, healing and change, discounted as fanciful and naive by skeptics, drew Iowans into the frigid night air by the tens of thousands on Thursday to stand with a man who is not just running for president, but trying to build a new type of political movement.”
They said he could never win in Iowa because the population is 95 percent white ... they were wrong.
Barack Obama is not about being white or black, Democrat or Republican, he's about all of us being united together in one common purpose.
He is about all that is good in our country.
Caroline Kennedy endorsed him saying she has finally found “a president like my father.”
Sometimes a gift is given to us, but we must be able to recognize it and accept it in the moment it is offered.

I wish I was as smart as you. You have an opinion on everything.
I also wish I had your job, so that I could get paid for putting my opinions in the Citizen. "

No, my concerns with any and all candidates is the undue influence upon their decisions that comes with the big campaign contributions they get from corporate and other special interests. "
