Men hur kul jag nu än tycker det är att följa valrörelsen i USA, så har jag svårt att bli engagerad på djupet. Jag tror att detta har att göra med det som Jim Wallis skriver på sin blog:
But as people of faith, we know that the change must go deeper than politics. In fact, unless change goes deeper, politics won't really change. And no matter which candidate finally wins this presidential election, he or she will not be able to really change the big things in the U.S. and the world that must be changed, unless and until there is a real movement pushing for those changes from outside of politics. Because when politics fails to resolve or even address the most significant moral issues, what often occurs is that social movements rise up to change politics; and the best social movements always have spiritual foundations.

Jag behöver ju ingen egen blogg om jag får låna din..
Men det här är ju precis vad Obama pratade om i det där talet som Wallis citerar:
"But the reason our campaign has always been different, the reason we began this improbable journey almost a year ago is because it's not just about what I will do as president. It is also about what you, the people who love this country, the citizens of the United States of America, can do to change it./.../ always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change."
Olov, jag uppskattar blogglåneriet!
Men jag uppfattar väl inte att detta är "precis" vad Obama säger, iaf inte i citatet. But I catch the drift ...
