Wow, he did it

DateWednesday, November 5, 2008

Someone asked how this election has challenged me. My answer:

Obama has challenged me to rethink what is possible in this country. That is, what is possible for an african american individual to achieve in a country full of bigots.

This man and his staff ran an inclusive, high road campaign, in an extremely hostile, bigoted, and partisan environment. He achieved this with self-discipline, hard work, and a strategic vision.

A black man with the name "Hussein" made it to the top. Suddenly, those boulders I see in my way don't seem so unclimbable.

He is both an inspiration and an admonishment to rise.
