After eight long years, hope.

Finally, it looks like Obama will survive Hilary and begin his campaign against John McCain. What a blessing to have a leader of his grace, vision and intelligence at this time in history. I have been lucky enough to have worked on the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum for the last 12 years. I've read close to a 100 books about JFK. I understand the man and Obama possesses many of the same attributes. Optimism. Grace. Reason. He is also coming along at a very similar nexus in our history. The world is ready for change. We need a leader that inspires us to be better people, parents, students, leaders and citizens. January 20, 2009 will be an exciting day in our planet's history. AD: Lee Dayvault. CW/CD: Joe Alexander
