More Obama Endorsements!
Honolulu Advertiser
{i}The Democrats should recognize that the ability to inspire and to persuade others to follow is no trivial thing, no superficiality.

It is, in fact, the critical aspect of leadership required at times like these, when only a more unified nation can find its way through the difficulties ahead.

The party needs to acknowledge the clarion call that's resonated through the past weeks of the presidential campaign. It needs Barack Obama.

Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Obama is smart and experienced in working directly with low- and middle-class Americans to better their lives, and he brings a message of hope that the country needs in this moment.

Yes, we know, hope is not a strategy. But it can get people working together to find one.

The Star-Telegram recommends Barack Obama in the Democratic primary for president.

Corpus Christi Caller-Times
Experience means little if it is only about remembering the old hates. And it takes courage to break from the old political civil wars. Many Democrats, like many Republicans, find it easier and more comforting to vilify political opponents and nurse grudges than to take the bold step of reaching across political lines to find solutions wherever they may be found. Nominating the Illinois senator offers Americans a chance to transcend the old politics.

5. It all starts at the top.
We need to foster a different atmosphere and build trust. If we can do this, then we can start fixing up this mess that Bush left with.

If we can't then we are surely screwed and you know who will suffer if that happens. Hint, its not the rich people.

This is cute from the Ft Worth Star-Telegram..

"Yes, we know, hope is not a strategy. But it can get people working together to find one."

Whoa..The Corpus Christi Caller Times nails it!
