BARACK OBAMA: HOPE IS ALIVE!!!

08.29.08

I had never felt such a sense of nationalism, nor experienced the caliber of pride that can come with being an American as I did last night. Call it a coming of age, or just plain disdain for the current administration, but as Barack Obama accepted the presidential nomination, tears rolled and nearly 80,000 Americans came together as one. The feeling was beyond amazing and emotionally overwhelming. It was clearly time for Obama to elevate his game, bring some tough talk to John McCain, layout a plan for manifesting the sort of hope he promotes, and to connect with the Middle Americans that have missed his message. Barack did all of those things and more last night. 45 years to the day after Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech on the Mall in Washington, Barack Obama, amidst a stunning show of support at Denver’s Mile High Stadium became the first African American to be nominated for the White House by a major party. I’m proud to be part of that party, proud to be part of a network of artists and designers using their tools and trade to further Barack’s cause, our cause, and more proud to be an American than I have ever been in my 33 years. Barack Obama = Change. The kind you can belive in.
