The Politics of Hope

This is the face of hope.

This is the face of a young African-American girl, who has seen a woman and an African-American battle to a photo finish over the nomination for President by the Democratic Party.

And to be overly fair, who has seen a woman become the Vice-Presidential candidate of the Republican party.

This is a young African-American girl who now knows in her heart, whatever she may hear in her life to discourage her, that with hard work and courage she truly can be anything she wants to be. And this can never be taken away from her.

She will walk taller, hold her head higher, and be more proud of her heritage and her country for the rest of her life.

Electing Barack Obama president: $500 million dollars.

The look on that young girl's face: priceless.
