I missed Baraak Obama's speech last night when it was live, but I did see a replay of it. To me this speeck harkens back to when speeches weren't written for small sound bites but for language and message. It was amazing, electrifying, and beautiful. It would be an honor for me to one day cast my vote for Mr. Obama.
Whatever your affiliation I plead with you to watch the speech. When it comes down to it there is only one big difference between Democrats and Republicans and that is how large a role the government has in helping the citizens. I believe with all my heart that the government's job is to be there and help people make a good life. All the other issues tend to be social issues which I think government has absolutely no business being involved in. If we remember that it is much easier to deal with each other. As Obama said, "I am my brother's keeper" - and if you want to know what I mean.... watch the speech!!!
