...just watched the Obama Iowa speech and I'm stunned...

Advertisements [?]

As you might have observed from my sense of humor I'm pretty cynical about politics. Colin Powell was the last leader that I gave my faith to, and was disappointed. And although I've been opposed to Hillary from the start, I've never been an Obama supporter either.

I'm deeply moved. Obama's speech last night was a political moment not to be missed. Call them platitudes if you must. But they're my highest ideals as an American. And I've never witnessed anybody utter them with such profound conviction, and the simple will to make them real. wow.
