Didn'even notice it. I agree with you that real change comes from individual people's hearts and acting on their compassion not just mandating government programs or legislation. But I do love the hopefulness of the conversation that Obama has initiated. I think the campaign benefits from the avalanche of Bush hate but we'd be remiss if we didn't see the needs and nerves touched on by his change message. That’s funny! Didn’even notice it.

Obama's riding that wave. It's not about him. It's about a media created frenzy of Bush haters looking for something different. Whoever was the democractic nominee would have been smart to play that for all it's worth. And Obama's doing just that. But as you and I both know, no president will ever change america as a whole. It starts internally. And until humans are willing to lay down their ego and look inward, no real change will ever happen. It’s never been more hip to hate a president. Obama’s riding that wave.

It's difficult not to get caught up in the energy of this campaign, but there are many things to think long and hard about before making a conclusion. Great read and excellent points.
