Barack Obama's book, "The Audacity of Hope," shows a appealing title. It has a taste of bravery mixed with confidence. There's nothing Pollyanna about this. I may well not support every little thing he tells, but he's our president, and then for me, he inspires trust. Which will do more for a region than any volume of backroom deals. Hope gives us energy, and energy sustains us through trying times. Boy, we've had them. I'm from West Texas, and I did not vote for Bush. When McCain ran against Obama, I used to be a citizen of Arizona, but I gave audacious hope a chance. The fight for progress and laying the foundations of prosperity isn't over. I have seen the quips of those that don't think Obama is capable of doing it. But step back a moment. Would anyone have all of us fail just to tarnish the star of an incumbent for whom they didn't vote? Keeping our priorities straight, let's work together with this president and build our future.
