Barack Obama’s book, “The Audacity of Hope,” provides a catchy title. It has a taste of bravery mixed with full confidence. You’ll find nothing Pollyanna concerning this. I will most likely not support almost everything he tells, but he’s our president, and for me, he creates confidence. That may do more for a country than any number 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 is just not over. I’ve seen the quips of those that don’t believe Obama is capable of it. But step back a moment. Would anyone have all of us fail just to tarnish the star of an incumbent for whom they did not vote? Trying to keep our priorities straight, let’s work together with this president and build our future.
