When politicians do tend to say stuff like that, they get punished at the ballot box.<BR/><BR/>I will say this for Obama, though: if you read or watch his speeches, he talks alot about shared sacrifice among the people. He speaks a lot about how achieving what we aspire too takes long, hard work.<BR/><BR/>He also mentions constantly that it will take the involvement of all of us. One of the key attractions of the Obama message is its sense of empowerment for the average person.<BR/><BR/>I really do believe that if he becomes President, Obama will have that rare ability to call us as a people to be better than we are.thinkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06024721812573340354noreply@blogger.com
