One of the secretaries at work loves Obama. She says his speeches are so fine, they show her the possibilities. And I think that may be his appeal to a lot of people.
As Emily Dickinson said:
I dwell in Possibility –
A fairer House than Prose –
More numerous of Windows –
Superior – for Doors –
Of Chambers as the Cedars –
Impregnable of Eye –
And for an Everlasting Roof
The Gambrels of the Sky –
Of Visitors – the fairest –
For Occupation – This –
The spreading wide my narrow Hands
To gather Paradise –
