While I just knocked the President for his shirking the moral high ground in China, I do commend him for responding to Cuban blogger, Yoani Sánchez. Ms. Sanchez has been highlighting how tough and bad life is in Cuba and she recently got beat up by Cuban security people for it. Good for the President, I would like to see more actions like this.

Barack Obama’s book, “The Audacity of Hope,” features a catchy title. It has an idea of bravery mixed with full confidence. There’s nothing Pollyanna about this. I may well not support every little thing he says, but he’s our president, and for me, he inspires confidence. Which could do more for any region than any amount 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 used to be a citizen of Arizona, but I gave audacious hope a chance. The fight for progress and laying the foundations of prosperity is not over. I’ve seen the quips of those that don’t think Obama is capable of doing it. But step back a moment. Would anyone have most of us fail simply to tarnish the star of an incumbent for whom they did not vote? Attempting to keep our priorities straight, let’s work together with this president and build our future.
