I respect that he stayed on point and platform of his message through the whole of the campaign, and of the runners, his team seemed to manage very well for the duration, and they broke ever record in candidacy history, from drawing crowds, both in the US and abroad, it was amazing to see 200k people come out in Germany to see him, and he averaged 15-20k people for the span of the process. I think he helped establish a sense of dignity in process, and composure. and showed grace and gratitude in how he handled the media spins.
what I really like is his sense of diplomacy about other world leaders, and the will to engage them in dialog. He is not about fighting but finding ways to work together..
I think it was great that his background had him growing up in a very diverse mixture of people, he saw the poor in foreign lands, and the poor in this land, and the depth of the chicago ghetto is a great teacher of the tragedy this nations spills on it's poor, and to have foregone the wealth of corporate chase, to work there, showed a great depth of integrity about the human life, and care about the human condition.
He did not go back and get any of the past civil right leaders, to push his campaign, he said early on, what they did in the time they did it was great not just for America but for the world, it changed the concept of "equality within the law books"... now it's our time in the history of life to change the concept of "equality in the interactions with each other, as a global people"... and eradicate the concept of "first entitlment to any"... and give "equaly entitlement to all".
He still has to deal with the congress, and that in and of itself is it's own challenges, but he is choosing a cabinet of people, who can stand on their own, for the task they are given, he does not have to hold their hand, or play tip toe around the bush with them.. they can take directive and get it done, because each of them are powerful as individuals in their own right.
His election of Biden for VP, was a true stroke of paying attention and choosing carefully to get a full rounded person, who has voice and substance to back up what he has to say.
Hillary for Sec of State is a good choice, because she has stomped the grounds along with him for nearly 2 yrs, and they both know the agenda is to find a way for peace to prevail and working with nations is the way for all to prosper.
we don't need any more "cowboy gunslinger politics"... the world is a world of "information" and informations means there must be diplomacy to be the conduit for information to make it's revolutions of circular balance..
Queen Noor, of Jordan, made a very good speaking comment, when she said the world was looking to America and hoped that it would choose someone who does not think military first, and diplomacy last.. and she spoke of how many nations want for this nation to again regain its dignity and it's stature, and have a composure of good will and the will to work with others.
We don't need any more of the strangle hold like Bush put on people to back his war, by the threat of sanctions if they did not ride the horse with him, nor do we need, any more thinking that we can stomp in and out of places without regard for their leaders having the respect they deserve. Cuba began over a year ago, making reform and relaxing its policies in hope for a President that is willing to talk and work with them, they reduced the size of their committees to insure that people have more freedoms, and I'd say.. within the next two years, there will be a new agreement with Cuba.
Bush left one hell of a mess in every category that a mess could be made, and it's going to take a lot to clean it up.. and some very tough calls, and hard choices.. and hopefully some very stern and pervasive "REGULATIONS" placed upon many industries. No more of the CEO rip off and the Executive greeds and waste and squander and bleeding the public.. and I think with the cabinet that he is choosing they know how to go in and carve out the greed masters and put them in check.. ( some of them need to be put in jail).. Cheney should be prosecuted for the wild madness he let Haliburton get away with, and how "blackwater" became it's own terrorist faction while claiming to fight terror.. But as Obama said, Guantanamo will be closed.. the Far right wing, will have to open their minds and embrace the world of people, and not just their closed minded groups mentality.. where they in many ways push conservative, as if it implies holding on to yesterday.. the world is a place that functions based of liberal mindset.. otherwise it .. would be function as a secular faction of bigots.. and by god , the world has sure seen enough bigotry to last an eternity..
Obama is not going to be given a magic wand, nor does he expect to have one.. he came to work... and understands that it is and will be work to be done...and he's willing to take on the task.. no one can expect more... than the work to be done with regard for the people, and to prosper the people, not just of this nation, but to set a tone that reverberates globally... that people matter... not corporations more than people.. and there is now cowboy, with a six shooter, because the days of the wild wild west, actually ended 2 centuries ago.. but the remnants just lingered far too long..
so it's simply a matter that we all must get busy.. but not expect a microwave quick solution to anything..
