I think we have a lot of work to do and I'm glad that Obama is such an advocate in recognizing that he is the leader but that we all have a part to play in changing our world.

Some wonderful pictures too - I love the one from NYC with the girl in the red shirt clasping her hands together. What a look on her face. :-)
