All politics is local

One of the perks of living in Iowa is that every 4 years, you get some special attention from the presidential candidates. I have seen Barack Obama speak twice in person here in Iowa City. First was his address on Earth Day. Check out a small snippet of it here:

Obama, Earth Day, Iowa City

Last week, Obama announced his plan for healthcare reform right here in my very own medical school. I was there as well. Check out a bit of that speech here:

True, the election is still a year and half away. I'm not saying to vote for Obama (who knows if he will even be a candidate?) What I'm saying is - let yourself be inspired. Do away with the cynicism. Believe that we can (must) do better as a country.
