Hope -- Hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope! In the end, that is God’s greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation. A belief in things not seen. A belief that there are better days ahead.
Despite a bruising month of attacks on his pastor... Despite questions of his patriotism. ..Despite being labeled an "elitist"... Despite a significant amount of voters still believing he is a Muslim... Despite his name...Despite being falsely tied to a radical extremist...Despite "Operation Chaos"... Despite being a black man... Despite having to campaign not only against Hillary Clinton, but also Bill Clinton and the whole DLC machine... Despite what was "inevitable", Senator Obama is our nominee. What a beautiful day for my party; what a beautiful day for my country!
