The struggle to live in hope in a society that values a purchased kind of hope is larger than life. To hear McCain sneer "he wants to spread the wealth around" underscores the entitlement issues we have as privileged Americans. Obama called for us to care for each other, to serve each other in his acceptance speech. I know he cannot invoke the name of Jesus in doing that, but he didn't have to for me to hear it.
