Obama


We went down to Denver to hear Obama's acceptance speech with 83,000 of our closest friends. As it was getting dark and as the final lines of attenders filed into the stadium, five citizens (regular folks) talked about their reasons for supporting his candidacy. They were quite powerful as speakers...more impressive than the other more polished performers. The roar of the crowd at their and, later, Obama's remarks was laced with the understanding that enough is enough. In fact, enough for the past eight years has been way too much. But in the meantime, there's Stevie Wonder playing his own personal form of magic. Maybe that's the point "Hey, listen to the music, the beat is changing."
