After viewing Erin’s interview and Kim’s latest post, I am compelled to share my thoughts. First, I must congratulate this team and Blogher. From concept to questions, to presentation, you were first class. We are all beneficiaries of your efforts. I am personally grateful and have a tremendous admiration for your work.
My Twitter friends know me as an Obama cheerleader; perhaps some imagine they know why. In addition to my agreement with Obama’s positions on the “issues”, Erin’s comments last evening during her “live debriefing” confirmed my view further on Barack Obama, the man: his character and authenticity. He’s a brilliant man with a welcoming countenance, a warm, dignified demeanor and compassionate heart. I admire how he interacts with his wife and children.
Sharing a multicultural heritage with Obama, I am particularly impressed by and sensitive to his unwillingness to be boxed in by labels & stereotypes. He defies them. I’m confident what he has experienced first hand, Hillary nor McCain could ever grasp or begin to understand; even with all their many years of “experience.” His global and cultural awareness extends beyond their reach. His candidacy has given my hope for a better America new life. He & his family personify the “American Dream.”
Divisiveness and blatant racism has been exposed and bitterly discussed here and everywhere. Some of the discussion has been good and necessary. What has inspired me most during this campaign has been the voices of support for Obama from people of all ethnic, professional, academic, economic, cultural & religious backgrounds. In that regard he has already made a difference. Blogher has made a difference. We can make a difference. Together, we can build a better future for America and all of her children.
Yes We Can! Thanks ladies, Thanks Blogher! Thanks Readers & Friends!
