Moving On....

So i am moving on to my next adventure. Tomorow I am leaving for another place. I am very excited. I think I have this leaving thing down, although I don't do the whole 'coming back' thing very well. Lets see how it works out. Right now, everything after 8pm November 4th is hiding in a thick, soupy fog. I guess what happens after all depends on how hard myself and a million others do in between.

I have a big challenge when I get there. My region has a slew of talented people and I have to excel at everything. That means 7 days a week 7am to whenever it takes. It's not like I haven't done it before, though. Anyway. 110 days left. See you on the other side.

Obama / Santos

It is absolutely amazing how reality and fiction correspond with each other. A minority candidate running against an old white guy. Season 7 Episode 8 - Undecideds.... a speach bridging the races, going against what his own advisors say, Santos gives a GREAT speach in a black church on race. March 18 - Obama gives possibly the best speech in a generation on Race. A nation divided, we need a president to bring America together, not to drive us even further apart.

"We will walk together, work together, and slowly things will get better"

"Working together we can move beyond some of our old racial wounds, and that in fact we have no choice is we are to continue on the path of a more perfect union."

Can you figure out which is Obama and which is Santos....

Does it matter? If we can elect someone who is working towards bridging the racial divide, that is who this country needs. If we can elect someone who has an idea of the challenges that face this nation, not only the external ones (terrorism, a flailing economy, a weak dollar, corupt russian and chinese governments who suppress human rights...), and not just internal domestic problems (economy, jobs going overseas, lack of health insurance, etc..), but the internal problems inside American hearts and minds.
