President Obama's Cairo Speech

It's hard to believe that anyone hearing and/or reading this speech cannot see how important it is that Barack Obama is President of the United States at this time in history. Not only is he working to put this country back on track, but he is doing so much to help regain respect for America throughout the world.

When he speaks, he speaks with respect for others, which is why he is listened to and treated with respect--a respect that is earned by his words and deeds, not just because of his position. He is a true leader, who will work with other leaders to forge a road to peace.

Yes We Can

Many words have been written about this monumental day. When "that" moment came today, I stood and cried--it's hard not to feel the hope for the future. In honor of the next generation that will bring us through this difficult time stronger, more mindful, and more united, I offer this video that I see as an anthem for this time and place.

Yes, we can......and I believe, with Barack Obama as our leader, we will.
