It has a taste of bravery mixed with full confidence. You'll find nothing Pollyanna about this. I would possibly not support almost everything he tells, but he's our president, and for me, he creates confidence. Which can do more for just a region than any amount of backroom deals. Hope gives us energy, and energy sustains us through trying times. Boy, we've had them. I'm from West Texas, and I did not vote for Bush. When McCain ran against Obama, I was a citizen of Arizona, but I gave audacious hope a chance. The fight for progress and laying the foundations of prosperity will not be over. I've come across the quips of those who don't believe Obama is capable of doing it. But step back a moment. Would anyone have most of us fail only to tarnish the star of an incumbent for whom they didn't vote? Keeping our priorities straight, let's work together with this president and build our future.
