Barack Obama




What I think inspires me, and so many other people, about Barack Obama is his humanity and his personal touch. When he says in his Presidential Candidacy Announcement Preview, “I hope that we have a chance to meet in person over the course of the campaign trail,” I believe him. And when he finishes with the same thought that he did today in his actual Presidential Candidacy Announcement and says, “Let’s go get to work,” I want to. All of a sudden “the life of a tall, gangly, self-made Springfield lawyer telling us that a different future is possible” doesn’t just refer to Abraham Lincoln anymore. Thank you Barack, for running for the office of President of our United States of America. It is a privilege to support you.
