Thank you for this post. I have been remiss in keeping up with the news and current events. I've had my head buried in books that don't really matter, but require my attention at this time.

This post gives me continued hope.

Obama is hope incarnate liveonearth June 14 2009, 20:34:08 UTC

Happy to help with the hope quotient. I certainly get mine fed by Obama's way of thinking. I love to tune in to Obama because he is one of the most compassionate and intelligent voices in media today. He is changing the world for the better by asking that people of tolerance and reason step up to the plate. He is working to give all of us hope.

One thing he said was that Muslim communities will benefit the cause of peace by ousting those among them who act too radically. I saw a program the other day in which a right wing American Christian said the same thing about ousting vandals and murderers from the anti-abortion movement. Obama was speaking of Palestine when he said that violence is a dead end, that you cannot win your way by violence. By encouraging moderates to prevent the violence of extremists in their midst, we have a chance at peace. It is a brilliant strategy.

Isn't it lovely to have a President that you KNOW is smart. It may not be everything, but Lord, how we've missed this.

Yeah, it really is nice to have brains at the helm. I can relax a little bit from my back seat driving.
