Jan.15.2010 Because Of his Dream Monday is of course Martin Luther King Jr. Day. A well deserved day honoring a man who with his voice, his hopes, and his vision of what the world could be like changed life forever. I am sure there will be many articles written about him by those who have more talent than myself. Still I couldn't...	Dec.13.2009 HERTA MULLER ACCEPTANCE SPEECH 2009 NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE Every word knows something of a vicious circle (excerpt) "My grandmother kept two photos of her son Matz far back in a drawer: a wedding photo and a death photo. The wedding picture shows a bride in white, taller than he by a hand, thin and earnest—a plaster Madonna. On her head was a wreath...
Sep.09.2009 Obama, not all dropouts grow up to be rap stars... It's not fun to criticize Barack Obama anymore now that everyone's doing it. Even cautionary blog posts used to feel like a wonderfully lonely place, particularly if you live around San Francisco or on HuffPo. I warned early on about the dangers of over-stimulating the public expectation gland. You...	Jan.21.2009 What About The Native Americans? I am highly disappointed in Obama's speech. Although brilliantly articulated and phenomenally inspiring to the masses, he failed to recognize one group of people in this "amazing" speech. Where was acknowledgement of the Native American Indians? You know, the ones that were kicked...
Nov.05.2008 Remarks of President-Elect Barack Obama If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around...

After decades of broken politics in Washington, eight years of failed policies from George Bush, and twenty-one months of a campaign that has taken us from the rocky coast of Maine to the sunshine of California, we are one week away from change in America. In one week, you can turn...
Oct.01.2008 Delivering an inspiring speech I'm preparing for a talk I am giving tomorrow at a Women Into Business conference in the UK. I am the keynote speaker so I need to make sure that I kick-start the conference on the right note. There are going to be ninety women there and all keen to start, or who are thinking about starting, their...	Aug.29.2008 Obama has a dream. I watched Obama's acceptance speech last night on television, and it was a very effective speech.
