    I find reading things like this funny yet sad now. This is almost 2 years down the line of him campaigning and these articles about people needing substance from him, yet after 1 week there are a zillion articles on this site alone praising Palin with topics on everything ranging from the 1 big speech she gave yesterday and how she's a reformer/fighter, to her being a parent of 5 kids and a former beauty queen! Wow.... Palin truly shows one thing: In America ANYONE can make it... with the right color I suppose. Hey, don't even call it the "race card". If everyone can yell sexism, I'm gonna address the real elephant in the room. Everyone has had a problem with Obama's success. The older white voters can't understand how us young people don't mind seeing a black person in office. We don't weigh color with the importance as older voters do. We see the sincerity, and good will in Obama. The others have mocked us and him as Palin did last night with the help of Bush's speech writers. Now they have an Obama of sorts. Everything they used to criticize him for they do now. Big crowds are good, great ratings are good now, chanting is good now, excitement is good, speeches are good, feeling inspiration from listening to a speech is good. The big difference that they miss is that Obama offers a message, motivates us to change our country for the better, to come together as a nation. Palin delivered a message that is simply anti-Obama, but i guess that's all the Obama haters are really looking for anyway.

COVER STORY
On His Own

Cerebral and cool, Obama is also steely, and his strength comes from the absence of a father. The making of a self-reliant man.
