Politics of Racism, 1903, 1968, 1988, 2009
I collect political memorabilia. As I looked through my junk last night I realized how much we have changed.
I have a George Wallace neck tie from his 1968 run at the Presidency. It is a thin white tie with bold red letters horizontally positioned that reads Wallace ‘68. Twenty years ago I attached a campaign button to the Wallace tie – it reads Jesse Jackson ‘88.

Barack Obama, Romanticism Restored
H. W. Brands has written a compelling biography of Teddy Roosevelt, “T. R. The Last Romantic.” Published by BasicBooks in 1997, Brands biographical depiction of Roosevelt is as intriguing as any novel. But I cannot help making a comparison to Barack Obama of 2008.

Barack Obama – The Color of Water
These are troubling times of war and of economic despair. Yet there is a sense of hope. 50 million people in this country lack health care. Yet there is a sense of hope. We speak of immigration as if we are talking about cattle. Yet there is a sense of hope. Hope transcends troubles. Hope [...]

Senator Obama, To Sir With Love
Senator Obama,
Thank you. You have brought a sense of hope to this country, nay – to this world. It seems so long since we felt hope.

Who is That Masked Man? (Obama)
Every time we hear McCain or Palin say, “Who is Barack Obama?” we have to laugh to ourselves. They remind us of the town folks in the small town that has just been rescued by The Lone Ranger – they always ask, “Who was that Masked Man?” The next person marvels, “I don’t know. But [...]

Video – Kennedys endorse Obama, from MSNBC
Son,
I could not capture the power of the news conference today. My earlier post has some of the quotes from the Kennedys – but the written word cannot capture their presence.
We can all have hopes for the future of America. Hopes for Social Justice, for health care, for education, for peace, for prosperity, for dignity [...]

This state represents a string of victories for Barack Obama – with a two week break before the next big primaries in Texas and Ohio. But are there any other demographic changes from the [...]
