@Hubert - well, it depends on what you are stirring up, of course! Let me know what it is!

LOL, I was going to say...

Well, I think Metro Detroit could use a young voice like yours, whether singing or talking classical liberalism. Either way, we'll probably be better off for it!

In fact, I'm looking to stir up some stuff in the local Royal Oak gov't. I could use some support!

@Hubert - wait, wait, I meant, I AM shy, unless I am singing. I sing all the time.

Where are these conferences and open mics you speak of? I'm not shy. Well, unless I'm singing.

Are you actually suggesting I speak in public about the things I talk about on my blog? Hehehe, I was hoping to keep a few of my friends... ; )

@Milena
We are very much the same in that regard. I see most folks for what they are an individual, regardless of their basic superficial make-up. I like to recall Dave Chappelle's "blind racist" skit where the guy hated black people, but was black himself and never knew it.

At the end of the day, the President is going to need to help everyone understand that he cannot do it alone

@Hubert - I don't think of Obama as a "black" President, he's just "the" President. But maybe I'm in the minority of people who think that way. I don't care what color he is, but I can understand that his race is significant to many people, for good and bad reasons.

I am looking forward to seeing how things will change under the scope of scrutiny as having a minority as the leader of the free world leaves room for new possibilities of hate, admiration and respect.

I wrote a piece on the stories I heard and dealt with personally on Inauguration day. I know so many people were so happy and excited, but many of us were kept grounded by the

@Nisha - I agree, the President of the US is a difficult job - and I think whoever holds the position should be respected as a person, regardless of how you feel about their policies.

He certainly does have the toughest job on earth ahead of him. It's mindblowing to see how much he is revered, and to wonder how he will live up to all the expectations of him.

If you haven't already though, I'd highly recommend reading Dreams from My Father -- you'll learn a lot about Obama the person rather than Obama the politician.
