Barack Obama

I’m voting for Barack Obama. I attended a rally recently and found myself in the middle of a realization. Among this crowd of 20,000 people, I got caught up going hoarse from yelling as loud and as much as I could. All of a sudden within the excitement, my mind grew still and I thought . . . Barack Obama is a human being. Sometimes the biggest moments are summed up with DUH. He is not hope. He is not change. Barack Obama is a human being. Even though he’s extra ordinary, he’s also ordinary. I truly believe that all of us have the ability to be extra ordinary if given the opportunities. Obama is running for president of the United States of America, the only job with one employee and millions of employers. Getting Obama into office is only half the battle. As employers we must hold Obama to our highest standards. A democracy is only as strong as its least informed voter. This is our responsibility and our country no matter whose hands we put it in.
