I am so happy and thrilled every single time to hear Obama speak. I can’t help myself but be glued to the television and if I miss it I most definitely catch it online. Brilliant orator he may be but its his inclusive politics that has me charmed.
His inaugural address was very inspiring and moving. My personal favorite line from his speech is “the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness”
It has taken 8 years of shoddy and crappy politics by someone like Bush for an Obama to rise. I don’t think Obama would have gotten elected into office if not for the financial drain due to war in Iraq, wall street collapse, mortgage crisis, sky high health care costs and struggling school system.
A brave man with what seems like an impossible vision of what America can be has given hope to millions and has touched the hearts of people the world over whatever race or creed they may be.
He has brought ‘responsible politics’ back into the forefront. I hope other democracies take inspiration from this and start engaging in responsible politics themselves and root out corruption within their political parties.
