It's a story that hasn't made me the most conventional candidate. That anger may not get expressed in public, in front of white co-workers or white friends. He said that our economy has made "great progress" under this President.
The audacity of hope! In the end, that is God's greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation. Senator McCain likes to talk about judgment, but really, what does it say about your judgment when you think George Bush has been right more than ninety percent of the time? I don't know about you, but I'm not ready to take a ten percent chance on change. That is why we are forging service projects in America that bring together Christians, Muslims, and Jews.

Some suggest that it isn't worth the effort - that we are fated to disagree, and civilizations are doomed to clash.
Thank you. And may God's peace be upon you.
