It has been decades since America has felt the words of a leader who spoke, not only from her heart, but in a way similar to the everyday individual, a strong personality whose beliefs appear to coincide with that of the people. An everyday girl who showed-up when called to speak on a major political stage, a proud hockey mom whose venture into politics is based, not in money and power, but in that of helping her local community. With no desire for political power or personal wealth, though I have no doubt she will obtain both. However, I do believe that for Sarah Palin, enough of anything is probably too much.
One can only imagine that she won over the locals the same way she did the American hearts and minds, she believes in something more than herself. She believes in the American spirit.
She’s not like an Obama, whose views can outwardly change according to any given polling data sheet in order to achieve his inward agenda. She could probably care less about what others might think of her. However, she is careful to display this side of her for reasons, one like myself, appreciates and understands.
While Obama finds it very easy to look the American public in the eyes and give them premeditated rhetoric with superficial ease, Governor Palin found her credible voice while running for Vice President under Senator McCain’s restricting, and often self defeating, limitations.
She has endured harsh criticisms from those who fear her awesome capabilities, and has placed her loved ones in the lions den, all for the greater good.
She is a champ whose family ties should be championed.
She is my hero, and I can only hope and pray that my daughter Sara grows up to be the type of woman she is.
The first black President should have been a man whose ideas matched those of Martin Luther King. However, Obama is merely a byproduct of Dr. King and nothing more.
Sarah Palin will not be the first of her kind, she will simply be another American called to duty in a time when America was in need.
Just another reassuring voice who answered Americas ‘Call to Arms’…
… uncompromising.
