Follow this link to this excerpt from Ted Kennedy’s auto-biography.

This inspired me to post the following comment.

President Obama can be a great President because he inspires people to action.

That means that he can’t be a great President all by himself.  He needs the continuous support of those he inspires.  It is as much up to us to make him a great President as it is up to him.

If we can’t out talk the lies with the truth, then it is our failure as much as it is his.

Keep talking, keep posting, keep blogging, keep writing letters to editors, keep organizing, keep writing to Senators and Representatives, and keep on doing whatever you can think of to overcome the vocal minority and those who are confused by this vocal minority.
