Barack Obama is the New Generation and the hot light of a dawn that goes way beyond clever talk of morning in America.

At an early age, I knew there were a lot of things I couldn't do. My father was a doctor, and my mother was a teacher. I knew I wasn't good in numbers, and I knew I wouldn't work well in overly structured environments.

When entertainment works the best, you're creating an apparatus to convey emotions.

I understand politicos gotta make bank. But cloistering with the Hollywood elite is not how you prove you're a man of the people.

As a coping mechanism, or as a way to make a little hard count by shilling demons in the shadows, I try not to belittle the thought process of the conspiracy theorists. As a cocktail waitress in Vegas once schooled me: never get down on anybody else's hustle.

I never wanted to show up and just say, "Okay, what are we doing today? Let's wing it!"

Quite simply, quite plainly, just by virtue of his being, Barack Obama is America. The first true American to lead our nation.
