Barack Obama Is My Hero

Barack Obama is a true American hero in my book. Regardless of whether he gets to run for president.  Maybe people just aren't ready for him yet.  But he's a hero.  Already.

Why?  Well, he's putting himself in a pretty dangerous position. Just look at how many prolific forward-thinking leaders get assassinated.   JFK, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Bobby Kennedy, it's pretty scary out there when you're challenging the status quo. Especially when you're a black man and you have two little daughters.

But he's running anyway. Because we need him.  Because it's time for people to start believing again. He's risking everything so he can change things and help America get better. And if that's not a hero, then i don't know what is.

And he's dreammy. But seriously though, I really do like him more than any other politician ever.

That's so funny, I just said the same thing today! I said that I believe in Barack Obama like I've never believed in any politician EVER. He just does that to you. He's embodies hope and change.

There are a lot of people that feel like you do -- that Barack Obama is stirring up the way we think about politics.

You might be interested in an article on The Huffington Post on called The Obama Vibe.

FANTASTIC article Nicollete. Thank you very much. I'm going to send it to all my friends and to everyone who says I just like Barack Obama because "he's cute", when that doesn't even scratch the surface of how deeply I believe in him.

Thanks again!
