Barack It!!

Notice how calm, cool and collected Barack Obama always appears? He remains in control and unnerved. He takes his time when answering questions. His response is always thoughtful and poignant. I'm stating the obvious but Barack has kick down doors and shattered stereotypes across the world. He surpassed all expectations, calculations, polls, bets, conspiracy theories.

Scott told one of his students that he needed to "Barack" it. I thought about exactly what that meant and decided that I would "Barack" it too.

Perfect 10

God surely has a way of giving you what you need exactly when you need it. I received an email from someone today that upset me. And then the very next email was from my goddaughter Taylor --who is 10 yrs old-- who sent me an egreeting. It was a cat on a ball of yarn and she wrote, "this was a very funny greeting. And remember Vote Barack Obama."

She's 10. It absolutely made my whole day. Thank God for friends, even if they are too short and too young to vote.

When They Ask Where Were You.....

What an amazing thing we are witnessing right now.

Remember when Jesse ran for president? Not once but twice. How many of us took him seriously? Remember how we excused his defeat as just "trying to prove a point?"

Remember when Barack ran for the Illinois State Senate? I thought his name was weird. Didn't realize he was even Black.

Remember when Barack ran for the U.S. Senate? We chalked up his easy win to luck because his opponent was a complete idiot.

Remember when Barack anounced his candidacy for President of the U.S.? We thought it was a long shot -- at best.

Remember when they used Pastor Wright as means to bring him down? When they posted You Tube clips of Father Pfleger? When it turned ugly in the attack ads and debates with Hillary? We didn't think he had a snow ball's chance...

And now we're at the Democratic National Convention. Michelle has spoken, Hillary has spoken, Bill has spoken, Joe has spoken. And now we sit on the eve of Barack officially accepting the nomination to run for President. We've got 70 days to go until the election.

We did not think this would come to past. We scream, we grin, we clap, we sing, we cheer, we brag. We chant Yes We Can!! If he wins we'll celebrate. If he loses we'll surely riot.

But when they ask you where were you when Barack was on the road to the White House.....

When they ask you what you did for the cause, the movement....what will you say?
