Obama and our movement

I have declined to post anything regarding Barack Obama and Reverend Wright because I needed to let it sink in and see how I feel about who we are, where we are and what we could be. Obama today has demonstrated that he is not only our choice, he is our leader in an unified Country that is so desperately longing for that feeling of pride, of richness, of hope. I have long tried to make sense of what it is I see in Obama and reading this Sunday about Reverend Wright's influence in his life and the article written about his Mother I have found what it is that makes us as a Country look toward Obama and his candidacy as something different. He has created in his campaign a bond that has solidified in something greater than anyone could have imagined. This is a movement. I feel more resolved than ever to get him elected. I see that with each passing day, we are more vindicated into getting him to the White House.
This is not about you and me, this is about US, as a Nation and as a Country, yearning for progress in our daily lives, finally becoming part of the solution.
