What do those of us who support Barack Obama think when we think about "hope" and "change"? It's not a squishy concept when we see the concrete challenges this country faces, challenges that will engage us for generations. Think about global warming. Think about our energy infrastructure.
Here's a quote from Frank LaMere, Chair of the Native American Caucus of the Democratic National Committee. I think it would be hard to come up with a better definition of "hope" and "change".
Hope has always been the basic tenet of the Democratic Party and not an obscure backdrop. Change should be looked at in terms of generations and not what we might be able to do to win the next election without affecting anyone's comfort level.
Hope and change require that we be audacious and Barack Obama knows this better than anyone. We must acknowledge this bold man among us and the good heart that he has for all of the people.
Enough said.
