Barack Obama, The Modern Day Dr. King?



O.k., it was not the "I HAVE A DREAM" speech but over labor day weekend Barack spoke to yet another large crowd of supporters, this time in Manchester, NH. He seems to amaze me how he brings people out to his political rallies as if he has won the presidency already. Barack has a political flair in him that I have only seen in two other people--Bill Clinton and Dr. King. Moreover, like these men, Barack brings a sense of "freshness" and sanity to American politics. He has the melting pot effect in which again Bill Clinton and Dr. King in the last 60 years have only been able to achieve. Granted, Barack still has to work on his public speaking abilities. I have to be honest with you, I yawwwwwwwwwwwn sometimes when I hear him speak.

There is obviously a disconnect from him speaking on television than watching him in person. And, I believe anybody that LISTENS to Barack would say "Uh--yeah!" about this too. O.k. , I might have a little bias in me because I did work for The King Center in Atlanta, GA for two years. Therefore, I have probably heard the "I HAVE A DREAM" speech so much, my dreams started having dreams. Anyway, Barack definitely brings donorism back into politics with extreme crowd outings that are diverse and balance. It will be interesting to see how the other candidates can match his "Rock Star" status in the up coming months.

Be safe, innovative and donoristic!
