Martin Luther King and Abraham Lincoln 'bump' across the ages----Dan Wasserman cartoon in the Boston Globe on August 29, 2008

This is a great cartoon about the historic nature of Barack Obama's campaign and upcoming inauguration. It really sums it up. Obama obviously idolizes both these men and looks to both of them for guidance. What an historic time for your country.We all know Obama and the country face historic challenges of major proportion. We must be realistic about the pace of change we can expect as a nation. They say it takes an ocean liner miles and miles to stop or turn. Many of our country's problems are so entrenched it will be a challenge to to turn the ship of state and head in a new direction. At least someone will be at the helm who in my opinion is talented and well intentioned and will do everything they can to make the needed navigational changes to head in a different direction.My hope is that the nation will band together and make the compromises needed to develop a consensus for where the country needs to go.Click here and enter August 29th:
