==== Ted Habermann ===========================
   We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...
   they will only grow louder and more dissonant . 
   We've been asked to pause for a reality check. 
   We've been warned against offering the people 
   of this nation false hope.
   But in the unlikely story that is America, there has 
   never been anything false about hope.
   Barack Obama
