Happy Birthday Senator Obama

I have to wonder why no one has noted that today is Senator Obama’s birthday. Senator Obama was born on August 4, 1961. He grew up in a world where a president died, a war was on television every evening, love was given freely until a disease put an end to it and hope for a better future was one thing we could all count on.

Now is Senator Obama’s turn to make history and bring action to the word hope and make real change in the near future. The world will always be left to the young and the older generation will always resent that fact. When Senator Obama was growing up the old saying was, “Never trust anyone over thirty.” Now we of that generation are over thirty so the new saying is never trust anyone over seventy.

The time has come for change. We need someone who will move this country forward. We need someone with the intelligent and wisdom to lead this country in the right direction. We need someone who can understand the values of the people he will represent. So 47 years ago today a young woman gave us a child who now has the name Senator Barack Obama and who will bring hope of a better future to our country once more.
