President Barack Hussein Obama
November 5, 2008

I feel weary this morning. I feel the intense weight of two hundred and fifty million Americans with their hopes and dreams, all looking toward President-elect Barack Hussein Obama to change a million intertwined causes and effects and somehow steer the United States toward a better, common future. I’m proud that we elected a wise, disciplined, intelligent, moral leader to our highest office. I am, on the other hand, bothered that it took someone so remarkable, so talented, and so unerring to do it. Obama steered clear of a million trip-wires laid for a black man; should we feel proud that he did it, or ashamed that he had to be such a remarkable person to do so?

What an amazing day in American history! Dreams do come true! Did you all see how Oprah Winfrey revealed this week that she uses a vision board to visualize her goals and harness the power of intention? Oprah created a vision board, months ago, that emphasized Obama as president and the gown she intended to wear during his imagined inauguration.
For anybody who doesn’t know, a vision board is collage of image that symbolizes a desired outcome. By looking at these images daily and imagining these desired outcomes – like accomplishing a goal – your brain becomes more honed in to making this reality. Many top athletes, entrepreneurs, presidents, and philanthropists have used vision boards to help them accomplish their goals.
I know that on www.TheVisionBoardKit.com you can download a free chapter that includes the eight basic ingredients of a successful vision board.

What about those other 54 million Americans? They’re without intense weight of hope?

Of course not, they were intensely hoping that President Obama would turn out to be a secret Muslim, black militant, Communist hybrid.

I think that number is probably higher than 54 million, sadly. Or even 55 million.
