Oh Sweet O'Bama: "All Things Are Possible" (September 10, 2007)

In Selma last Sunday, the bishop of the historic Brown Chapel: African Methodist Episcopal Church  exhorted from the pulpit – “show me a JFK and I’ll show you a Barack Obama.”  Here, the bishop asserted, is a man of  “character, courage, competence, and compassion”.  The church was bursting at the seams, the audience was energized, and his words resonated.
Can the zestful Senator Obama live up to this billing and translate his vision of the “audacity of hope” into political victory?   Can he transform the “possible” into the “probable”, and ultimately into reality?  The answer is simply, yes.
The caveat, of course, is he must remember that the road to the White House is full of obstacles, — some natural, and some fabricated and stealthily placed to trip him up.  And he is already aware that it is a marathon race that requires grit and tenacity to successfully traverse the politically rocky and sometimes virgin terrain.
