What kind of world do you want?

When opening this blog page, the music automatically comes on and the first song always makes me nostalgic for a perfect world. What kind of world do you want?

President Obama was considered "naive" and "out of touch with reality" following his speech in Egypt for some of the ideas he professed. Certainly, this world is inhabited by people of many natures with many desires and there will always be good and evil with byproducts. What there isn't always in existence is someone who cares enough to introduce a new way, someone confident enough to stand alone if necessary, someone willing and committed to doing what it takes to make change happen, someone capable of leading.

Perhaps our leader is somewhat an idealist but I can't find fault with that. Maybe some would say he's just a dreamer for none of these things he intends are attainable. President Obama does have lofty aspirations for our country as well as other nations, but he also has personal capabilities and the position of power to see some of his ideals to fruition.

This man has already made a mark on his country and it remains to be seen to what extent he's capable of making a mark on the rest of the world. Instead of "naive and out of touch with reality", I see someone immersed in reality yet directed by hope for us all.
