2009: The Year of Hope and Heroes
I'm really choked up by Michelle Obama's amazing coup in the UK. She has put the best face on America that we have seen in my 61 years. I feel a sea change under way. We have dazzled the world in the past couple of months. The Obama's predecessors are off the stage, and the world thanks the guy with the hook. The real people are front and center, cleaning up the mess and fostering good will wherever they go. I love it!

Here are my three nominations for Heroes of the Republic for 2009 (so far):

1. Michelle Obama
2. President Obama
3. Sully Sullenburger

Great heroes. Great hope! The world loves them .. and so do most of us.
