nor does he want to be.  i cannot remember the last time i heard obama say the word “i;” it’s always “we.”  i am reminded of this fact today as i watched him take the presidential office and move the nation in a way that only he can.

not once did he say “i.”  it’s “yes, we can,” and “we will not be,” and “we are a people that stand for.”  every time he talks it’s we, we, we.  

and that’s the difference between barack and superman.  superman did not ask for help; he did it alone.  because of his work in isolation, the nation developed a dependency on him.  as i watch a nation becoming ever more dependent on our black superman i realize that, at every opportunity, barack reminds us that he cannot do it by himself.  in fact, he doesn’t even want to.  

i wonder if we are listening…
