Larson is the Man!

It’s not often that the Journal Inquirer writes quasi-poetry in their Editorials, but obviously Obama has gotten them fired up.

On February 1, they ran a great editorial:

U.S. Rep. John Larson has stepped up.

He has taken a stand.

He has chosen Obama.

Larson says Obama’s audacity of hope gives him hope. He says Obama “is not only audacious, but authentic.”

Obama can undo, “almost instantly,” much of the damage George Bush has done to America’s reputation in the world.

It took guts on Larson’s part.

Not to think any of this, but to say it.

Four years ago, John Larson was a profile in courage. And, it turned out, a profile in wisdom too.

The question tomorrow is, “Do you trust him again to lead the way?” Read the entire editorial here.

Why?

There are (too many) occassions when our political blinders prevent us from correctly observing and respecting the awesome power that politics - and politicians in particular – can have.  This is a perfect reminder of the possibilities and responsibilites that come with running for office and inspiring others for a better tomorrow.

Mind you, this was not produced by the Obama campaign, but rather by Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas.
