A little hope

This is what I believe about Barack Obama, not because I have any real evidence to believe it, but because it seems to be so. I believe that he is a sincere person. He actually wants to improve the world, and not for personal gain. I've gained this belief because of the way he ran his campaign, and what I've read about his background, and from watching him on TV at various events. His family life seems healthy, that he and his wife are both dedicated to the ideals of family, American style. I also believe that he is highly intelligent, and gaining wisdom.

I also believe that President Obama is the beginning of a new breed of American leaders. Some of the young adults that I've met, my daughter included, inspire in me a hope that they will build a better society than what their predecessors gave them. I believe that many of them get that we can't continue to exploit the earth and each other and expect a brighter future.

At least sometimes I believe these things. Perhaps foolishly, but still I believe.
