When I see and hear Barack, I see me, my brothers from Latin America, Asia,  
Arabia, and the Pacific Isles. Possibilities that can accrue from good  
education, discipline, industry, and due-diligent consideration. Possibilities  
accelerated by the benign ambiances of the greatest nation on earth at present,  
America. Barack is the guiding light and spirit of the newer American 
immigrants  defying hitherto awesome odds.
 
Barack reminds me that we are indeed the change we yearned (Ghandhi - Be  the 
change you seek),
that we are indeed the ones we've been waiting for. These two statements  and 
Barack's life examples reaffirm to me that we are our own prophets,  
consecrated from birth with the building blocks of our lives from creation. That  when 
we look for prophets and savior in other, we engage in foolhardy and  
tomfoolery.
 
Barack reminds me that like whites, hispanics, asians, and arabs, blacks  
also desire favourable ambiance for the comforts of life on earth and spiritual  
conditioning for life in the heavens. That instead of wallow in despondency,  
hopelessness, and listlessness, we must be inspired by example of our own 
kind.  That that is the movement of YES WE CAN. The growing awareness that no one 
can  free us but ourselves when we so desire. I thank Barack for the  
inspiration. I will benefit greatly from my witness of him. That in all our  endeavors 
and dreaming, we must tether unbridled hope to firmer moorings of the  
realities of democratic life. Democracy is maximally appreciated when citizens  
recognize their self worth and potential value.
 
I will take Barack's message and synthesize it for my life. I will share it  
with my family, friends, and fellow citizens. That will be the climactic  
movement for real change we can believe in.
