I'm Touched By Barack's Single Tear, And All That His Campaign Embodies!

By Aunt Agnes

I am watching Barack Obama speak for the first time after learning his grandmother made her transition. And I saw the tears running down his face. He tried to wipe one away without anyone noticing.

"That One" speaking at a rally, was clear and specific. Telling the story of the quite heroes in all of our lives. He used his grandmother as an example of a hard worker fighting through the depression. He has withstood character assassinations and assertions that would have had most of us wanting to say "put up your dukes, because I going to kick your a--."

But Barack has taken the blows. Understandably, losing his grandmother brought the emotion. He was resolved to finish the task at hand. You saw the strength with the touch of humility and sadness.

Whatever happens, the impact has been felt, "That one" made some of us face ourselves as Americans and what we are made of. "That one" made us talk about our hopes and desires again.

I will be fixing Margaritas tomorrow and as I sip, I will be saying prayers for myself and the American people to let grace prevail over "the self-righteous mavericks."

I am keeping hope alive (a little tipsy maybe) but working my faith.........
