And yes, I think Obama is a sign of change in a big way. Not so much immediately political but perhaps cultural. The whole Obama-Clinton race this year, in fact, is definitely one of the most striking things to happen in the US elections in a long time.
That's not, of course, to make a comment on him as potential president. If it all ends in his favour, he's got his work cut out for him and he'll need to prove himself in that he's capable of producing more than just hot air.

When I listen to Obama, when he is really not stumping hard, he does seem to have determination. A determination that I have not seen in a long time. He certainly does have his work cut out for him. He needs to prove himself on two fronts:
1. Politically
2. Racially (for lack of a better word)
- explained, for the good of what MLK was working for and now in Obama's grasp, he needs to make good on that dream now realized or soon to be possibly realized. In short, it can make it or break it for all concerned.
I would have to say, if there was anyone that had to be picked to spearhead a black as the president, Obama would have to be the one IMO. He is bright, articulate and really seems to have a clue in a lot of respects.
IMO, no matter who makes it, the country could not be any worse off then what we have now. I really think W was asleep at the helm or just did not know were the helm is...on other words completely lost.
