Obama's Speech in Berlin

So I just heard a clip from his speech.  

I actually have some hope. I usually am apathetic about the ability to change the political process and the old guard that I have experience first hand.

I like to think that I am more informed than most of the public.  And I am. But if you listen to this man speak, you can hear in his voice the conviction with which he runs for office. 

Oh, my...side tangent field trip.

"It's easier to label people when they don't agree with you"  A caller from the Stephanie Miller show, that I listen to on podcast every day. He said this to her after she called him a "right winger".  Um, hello dude, how about when people who don't agree with the current administration get called unpatriotic, or terrorists.

I suppose that is ok.  

Back to Barack.  He has great speech writers.  Ah, the cynic in me is back.

But, I do believe, that we (society collectively) have more in common than differences.  I believe that if we come together, if we pay attention to what is going on more than 5 feet in front of us, that we have the strength and courage that it takes to put us back on the right track.  We need to do this, for ourselves, for our country and for our children.  If people would focus on our commonalities rather than our differences then I truly believe that we can fix this. 

Or not.
