Influence

I've spent quite a while thinking about people who inspire me, and there is no shortage of these folks, but very few that resonate in the current milieu. I think that I admire Obama because he is the fulfillment of the culture of the sixties, where I came from. By this, I mean he is the emblem of a post racial society that, for sure more than the recent past, strives for social justice as a means to uplift everybody. And, he is Irish.
