Yes We Can

I know I'm not the first person to embed this video in their blog. Call it schmaltzy or propaganda if you like, but it really is beautifully done. I can't remember the last time a politician spoke words that moved me. There's been footage of RFK or FDR that I've found stirring or inspiring, but never a politician in the present day who has seemed thoughtful, sincere and genuine. Until Mr. Obama. Some people say that you need connections and be a card-carrying member of the Old Boy's Club in order to get anything accomplished as a leader in Washington. This year I'm going to go with genuine. I think this year, that's enough for me.

BTW, on my first night sans Quizzo in forever, I tried to finally catch an episode of According to Jim so I could see what all the hubbub was about and wouldn't you know it, it was preempted by Super Tuesday coverage! Sheesh.
