I remember reading the story of the Little Engine that Could when I was a child, and the mantra "I think I can, I think I can" was drilled into our heads to remind us to always keep striving and to always keep hoping even if the task seemed impossible. It's amazing to think that such a simple idea, reincarnated as "Yes We Can", has become the political banner under which we now seek to unite ourselves. Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best ideas, and I'm grateful to have a leader that understands that a lot of the kindness, common sense, and decency that we once possessed as children are lacking in our current political process and need to be reinstated.
