Inspired by words

It took me a while to jump onto the "got hope?" train this election season, mostly because I thought that the train was running a little too conservative of a path for my tastes. I was seduced by John Edwards' anti-poverty platform. I was loving Mike Gravel for calling out all the mainstream candidates on pandering to various interest groups. I couldn't get enough of Dennis Kucinich preaching the progressive word in such a practical manner.
Maybe at that time Obama had not hit his stride yet. Maybe he was struggling, throughout the summer and fall to find his niche amongst the field, to define himself amongst the candidates. However, since the lead up to Iowa, and his crushing defeat in the caucus, Obama has found his place, has carved out a space for himself- his oratory.
His words are beautiful, his speeches run chills up my spine, he brings me to tears. His speech after the New Hampshire primary, which has been made into the "Yes, We Can" Song- www.dipdive.com- had me leaping on the "got hope?" Express and hanging on for dear life. He channelled RFK, MLK, and Cesar Chavez. He, for the first time since 2003 when we began a pre-emptive war, made me feel proud to be an American. He is bringing inspiration and optimism back to this nation.
God speed to the "got hope?" Express.
