This is a different era. This speech is sobering, realistic and is of leadership caliber of the highest degree. It is interesting in that it inspires hope, faces challenges and reaches out to get the best from people. We all hope and pray that the sincerity exhibited is true and, more importantly, inspires many across the world to actually change paths to the betterment of humanity. We need to seize the moment individually and collectively and move forward seeking Allah's guidance for all of the human family.
For many, the most important thing is that he is African-American. I think this is a very myopic view. Past the irrelevance of his skin color, is the vision, leadership and caliber of this man. Say what you might, and so far we have not seen much to criticize, this is a person with a vision, determination and a sense of collective can-do.
