The website of the New York Times has a super-snazzy interactive audio-visual feature about people’s hopes for the Obama administration. By clicking on different dialogue bubbles, you can hear Americans elaborate on what they want from our next president. My favorite comes from one Tim Kanaley of Minneapolis, Minnesota:
Quite frankly, I think my single greatest hope is the re-establishment of hope in this country. Just getting people happy again, with greater hope — we’ll be able to build ourselves out of the rut we’re in right now.
Sure hope he’s right.
