When President Obama got up off the Mat for the 2nd Round in New York at the Debates...he did it for America - All America!
FOR ALL the little Boys & Girls who were ever Bullied...He was there!
FOR ALL the Races, Faiths & Nationalities that get kicked around because they were different...He was there!
FOR ALL who fought for our Country...He was there!
FOR ALL the Women who want to Own their Bodies...He was there!
FOR ALL who want to be Married & told they're not worthy...He was there!
FOR ALL who worried our Financial World was collapsing...He was there!
FOR ALL the Sick needing Help & No Hassle...He was there!
FOR ALL the Innocents who mourn Senseless Acts...He was there!
FOR ALL who watched Bush enter Iraq...He was there!
And...FOR ALL those who abhor Evil in the World...He was there!

I am presently listening to the debate just beginning (can't bear to watch and have discovered that I hear a lot more than I'd see anyway) and like Ande my passion has taken a beating.. but it's still breathing.
Rated for Not sure how, but it is. So I'm still paying attention.
When I finished reading, I thought to myself: And he was there for my little 15 month-old grandson -- My Beautiful Boy -- who will inherit the world he is trying to build.
And he was there again last night -- calm, confident, constructive.
Im'Yeertsa'Hashem -- God Willing -- he will be there for the next four years.
Thank you for a beautiful post.
