The author presents an endorsement of Senator Barack Obama in the 2004 U.S. presidential election. Obama's early career as a community organizer in Chicago, Illinois is seen as the cornerstone of his political thinking. The author feels Obama's relative newness on the national scene means the candidate is not trapped in the stagnant politics of the decade before 2008. Obama's gift for oratory is said to indicate his ability to inspire others.
