It has an idea of bravery mixed with full confidence. You'll find nothing Pollyanna about it. I might not exactly support almost everything he tells, but he's our president, as well as for me, he inspires belief. Which will do more for just a nation than any volume 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 isn't over. I've seen the quips of those who don't think Obama is capable of doing it. But step back a moment. Would anyone have all of us fail simply to tarnish the star of an incumbent for whom they did not vote? Trying to keep our priorities straight, let's work together with our president and build our future. Barack Obama’s book, “The Audacity of Hope,” contains a catchy title.
