President Elect Barack Obama at his December 11, 2008 News Conference,
responding to questions about the embattled Governor of Illinois.
And part of the reason that I got into politics, ran for the State Senate, ran for the United States Senate, and ultimately ran for the presidency is because we have to reclaim a tradition of public service that is about people and their lives, and their hopes, and their dreams. And it isn't about what's in it for me. And I think the public trust has been violated.
...in American politics generally, there are two views of politics. There's a view of politics that says you go in this for sacrifice and public service, and then there's a view of politics that says that this is a business, and you're wheeling and dealing, and what's in it for me?

You know, we know in Washington that lobbyists that disproportionate influence. We know that in state houses and city councils all across America there are times where people are not thinking about what's best for the public good but rather making narrow political calculations. And our whole campaign was about changing that view of politics and restoring a sense that when people of good will come together and are serious about confronting the challenges that we face, that not only can that be good policy but, you know what, it can be good politics as well.
It turns out that the American people are hungry for that. And you can get elected by playing it straight. You can get elected by doing the right thing. That's what I hope we have modeled in this campaign. And that's what I intend to model in my administration."

Brother Six, Sister Purps, thank you for that inspiration. Of course, there is no messianic mindset by Obama zombies. Very funny. Will the house parties have a little shrine with candles around His picture?

I believe in one President, the Barack Obama, Creator of hope and change, of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Joseph Biden, Son of Deleware, the only-begotten, born of the Father before all ages. -
