Is Obama weak?

Is it a weakness to refuse to play the game?

Indeed, I believe it takes more courage to stand as firm as a strong oak in a river of swirling waters, than to retaliate with tit-for-tat, distortions, tearing down of others, and ugliness. If Obama loses the nomination because he has the strength and integrity to stand up for what he believes is good for the country, I will stand by him to the end. For the waters swirling around his tree are murky and foul indeed. Pundits and politicians alike - even his Pastor - are calling for his blood, taunting him into the fight, calling him names and suggesting he is weak.

Be strong, Obama. Stand tall. For you are surrounded by ignorance, and meanness of spirit. I admire how you did not denounce your Pastor but explained in-depth the complexity of racism and the societal divisions. I was proud of you when you did not use simple phrases in your speech in Philadelphia. You did not insult our intelligence. You told us the truth. You shared your line of thinking. All those desperate souls out there are shaking and rocking your boat. There seems to be an anguished cry from the depths of darkness and ignorance that is fiercely pulling you down to keep the status quo, the system, safe - in balance - to restore the power into those business-as-usual hands - who believe in "obliterating" nations instead of dialog with people. There is absolutely no need for another "Gotcha" debate with the nation's privileged, Golden Girl, twisting facts and preaching at us sanctimoniously.

We know who you are and where you stand.

The change of your style terrifies people. Stand firm, Obama, and all the millions who donated our monies, who are urging you to move forward, who are speaking through you for change and peace and integrity - all of us will stand with you.

I'm fired up, Obama and ready to go, ready to keep on going with you, until you are right there in the White House - ready, even to change the world:
