Barack Obama - A real leader

A positive political message for a “CHANGE!”
Does anyone want to talk about what’s good about the candidates for the highest political office in our land? After all, positivity is good for our collective health which can only translate into good for the health of the nation, especially in economic terms. Positive feelings create positive economic impulses. All this negativity has the potential to send us into an even greater economic tailspin than we are in already.
What I like about the Democrats was in clear evidence on our television screens as we watched the convention in Denver. It is clearly the party of inclusion, one of the cornerstones of a pure democracy. In evidence was the rich and wonderful diversity that is now so celebrated in all the business literature as so important to the bottom line of Fortune 500 companies. Those who are consistently cited as the best leaders in the world, Martin Luther King, Gandhi, Mother Theresa and Nelson Mandela all enjoy that distinction primarily because of their ability to forge reconciliation and to inspire masses of people to act on their highest impulses.
Barack Obama comes across as so sincere in his deep desire to want to do the same. Just as Nelson Mandela made dramatic overtures to some of his worst detractors, many of whom ultimately realized untold benefits from the end of Apartheid and a more inclusive South Africa, one gets the sense that Barack Obama will endeavor to do the same should he be elected as President of our beloved nation. We need this example to once again be set here in America as a beacon of hope to divided nations. We simply cannot be just another divided nation. The UNITED States of America is better than that. As Nelson Mandela has shown us, it is always the actions of those who have the most compassion for the least of us that redound to the benefit of most of us.
