What is the country that I want to live in? One that owns its huge "mistakes" and the intentional wrongs (example: treatment of the indigenous peoples of this land * ), then one that lives up to its national creed. We are a nation of human beings and yet we hear shouts of "Kill him!" about a Presidential candidate in the middle of masses who supposedly have leaders on the stage who are complicit in this unacceptable language in a country where respectability is falling off a cliff.
Each person who can, must vote. It is not enough to vote, though. The loudest and most pervasive voices must not be those who are calling for the Democratic Presidential candidate's head. We must not be a silent majority. We must not allow our elected and appointed politicians think we are not watching them. If they do, they may do things in our names that are appalling. We can admit this because there is a trail left by our countless leaders who have been guilty of this from the beginning of our history.

This book details how Barack Obama has succeeded in establishing a culture of ingenuity, enthusiasm, passion and collaboration– unlocking new levels of personal power and control. Leaders such as Barack Obama, John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King know the secret to unleashing the human potential. His unique leadership style has been the catalyst of one of the greatest grassroots movements in history– and it is the spirit, the fuel, on which we will ride into the third millennium.
So just how did Barack Obama, a junior senator, become the nominee of the Democratic Party? How has Barack Obama amassed two million financial donors, raising over 400 million dollars? What is it that Barack Obama knows, that the Republicans have yet to discover? What is it that will make Barack Obama one of the greatest leaders in history?
Barack Obama understands that while the negativity of smear and fear has its initial impact, what really moves most of us is a desire to feel good about and to be in control of our circumstances, our futures, our communities, and most importantly, ourselves. He understands the difference between inspiration and motivation. Understanding this difference is what moves ordinary people from complacency to positive action. Positive action, originating in positive energy is what yields positive results.
Obama doesn't call forth volunteers– he calls forth the leader that resides in all of us. He demands personal accountability—and gets it. He has created an army of grassroots volunteers that is not only contributing financial resources but hours of service in any number of tasks. He has tapped into the spirit of first-time voters and re-kindled the spirits of baby boomers.
There are still so many undecided voters out there, weighing both sides as they determine which candidate will best serve the presidency as we move further into the 21st century.
