Friends in My Head


Michelle and Barack offer an excitement about politics that hasn’t been there in my lifetime. They are a breath of fresh air and offer a hope for change. It’s not that I think that they’ll have all the answers or will be able to make everything alright. What I think that is attractive about them is a feeling of genuineness (maybe it's a realness) that no one else has. It's easy to identify with them. It truly is about change, a new way of approaching the same old problems; seeing it from another direction. Simply acknowledging that the old way isn’t working so let’s see what we can do to make it work. That’s what I like about them.
