Please start Getting It: It's Up to US, because HE can't do it ALONE.

Finally, we're starting to deal with the race issue. Obama has been "talking about it" all along. People just didn't get it... until now. The racism is coming out, and we're starting to see it, and we want Obama to "do" something. Heck, what can HE do about racism?

That's where WE come in!!!!

WE have the power to win the election, because WE have the power to push people, specifically, our family, friends, neighbors and co-workers, into an admission of their racism, and possibly into a realization that this BLACK MAN has better ideas for our country that McCain. And that voting for Obama is a better choice than voting for McCain.

I know people want Obama to fight... he cannot fight RACISM by HIMSELF.

Yes WE Can. "YOU have the Power". It's not about me, it's about YOU!

He keeps saying it. At some point, enough of us will get it.

It's not just about talking to strangers. It's about talking to the people we know, love, but disagree with.

And the painful part is that it takes MORE COURAGE to try to turn around the people we know than it does to talk to strangers.

But we're starting to get it. So, I'm getting more hopeful about the election.
