OBAMA

I’ve had a lot of friends tell me he’s too inexperienced to be president, or to win the presidency, echoing what is rapidly becoming “conventional wisdom.”

But wasn’t there another Illinois state senator with little national experience elected during another dark moment in our history? Like say, Abraham the-president-considered-by-many-to-have-been-our-greatest-one Lincoln?

Normally people require a lot of FAITH to let go of the CW, and they often only find that faith when they are desperate enough for change, when they've had enough. So that's the question; have we had enough yet? Gandhi said we could not make the hard changes until we wanted them like a man gasping for air. Thanks for continuing to prompt us to think about these things.
