Obama is officially in!
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

"As Buddhists, we should aim to develop relationships that are not predominated by grasping and clinging. Our relationships should be characterised by the brahmaviharas of metta (loving kindness), mudita (sympathetic joy), karuna (compassion), and upekkha (equanimity)."

Re: Obama is officially in!
Obama's speeches amaze me -- he uses his voice like a concert pianist uses his piano. He's a first-rate orator for sure.
For whatever it's worth, I'm really pulling for him to be the perfect guy at the perfect time, and it doesn't sound that far-fetched even to this cynic. He's definitely got something.
Cautiously optimistic.

If there is a single man to thank for President Obama, I think it is George W. Bush.
