An honest look into McCain the man does not reveal a strong role model.

An honest look into Obama the man reveals a strong role model.

Barack Obama is exactly where he is in large regards to his ability to work tirelessly towards accomplishment. He is not the destination, he is the bridge, and the form the bridge takes. He is only a man, but the collective human community has produced this particular man at this particular moment to do this particular role.

That is why Obama has collected the momentum he currently commands. He has become a powerful being, and his power comes from the American people. What he chooses to do with this power is what will determine all of our collective future. He has the power thru unity to change our world by re-establishing the "staging ground." The collective pool of potential energy from which all great leaps into human future have come. Whether he utilizes the power he will wield to this end will be our next chapter...

McCain was never destined to take hold of this power, as instanced by his campaign. Obama has shown himself quite able to take hold, to lead and to inspire that which Earth has been calling for for a long time. Whether the citizens of the United States of America seize this opportunity will be evident soon enough.
