Wait a moment. David Brooks is bashing Obama for empty universal bring us together language? The same David Brooks who called for McCain to name Joementum as VP to bring all this country together from the dangers of the left and the right? I generally agree with what Brooks is saying on Obama but this is the pot calling the kettle black.

Why? He had a very specific idea for "bring the country together" (one, obviously, I disagree with wholeheartedly). Obama has none, just some vague requests of togetherness.

Because the one specific idea Brooks had about bringing the country together was all sticky and gooey too. What do Joementum and McCain have in common? Not much besides international issues. Taxes? The size of government? Life? Marriage?(oddly Brooks is closer to Joementum than McCain on this one) Education? How would a ticket of two men at odds on a host of issues bring the country's politics together?

Barack’s speech is such a different message and vision than the one we have had for the last 8 years built on greed, fear, war and rumors of war. It is the complete opposite. It was a message for the 21st Century ; a message to the Soul of Humanity and for the survival of the Planet — of Earth. A world where we celebrate each other based on the fact that we are all on this planet together. And that as a species of planet earth, we will not survivie if we continue to war with each other, especially with the atomic and nuclear weapons available to us today!

Barack’s message and vision (for without a vision, a man/nation/world perishes) is based on the oneness of Humanity and our shared and common goals — that we are, all of earth’s people, in this together and that we live in a Global Society. And, it was based on the dynamic and healing energy of love and goodwill toward each other; that we are not alone and without hope for a better world in this country and around the world. And, it was based on the premise that there should be a freedom from fear and want everywhere in the world and that only united and an understanding of one another can we build a better world for all.

What a great vision for us as a people to aspire too, especially for the young teenagers and adults and the children around the world — It Gives them something to look forward to other than endless years of war and hate based on geological differences, color or religious affiliation — because no matter what the outward differences of color, inwardly, the blood of each of us is all One Color, red!

The large crowd in Germany and the other large crowds that Barack generates attests to the fact that people hunger for truth and for a message of hope and inspiration, for inspirational leaders! Again Barack shows that he is indeed inspirational, a great healer/teacher/leader! Is it not great that we are talking about peace and unity for a change? Our common humanity? That speaks a lot in itself.

It is unintelligent to think that we are not interdependent and that what goes on in one part of the world does not effects us All! It does. Some think of the Internet ase the outward symbol of humanity’s “global brain”. Certainly, Barack generated a lot of powerful and healing energy throughout the world as he spoke to the heart and Soul of the World. The place where love and peace dwells. We must not loose it, because critics say he is not yet President. However, as a man of God and a servant of the world he ceased the Moment, and because he loves America and Peace, these things had to be said Now, to stimulate the vision — that we can have peace here, right here on earth!

Karol, tell us the truth -did you commission the previous commenter? I don't belive anyone who's not high might write that nonsense with a straight face [*angellight - did you laugh when saw your face in the mirror while writing the stuff? please say yes).
