It’s spectacular to watch athletes pursuing their dreams and pursuing excellence. Not only do we have the privilege of watching the best of humanity stretching their minds, their bodies and their spirits to reach their own “personal mountain tops,” but we get a glimpse of the unlimited nature of our species.
If only the “race for President” would be made of the same stuff. A race that calls forth the best in the candidates not the worst, and one that puts the same unlimited nature on display, not more of the same steps backward that history has too many of.
On Facebook this morning a good friend wrote this post: “If only we could be as excited about the presidential election as we are about the Olympics.”
Indeed! I typed the following response: “With the Olympics, we know each of the athletes is pursuing approximately a 15-20 year vision or dream. If either of the candidates for President would give us a 20 year vision or dream for America, I'll bet the election process would not only be more interesting, but it might be productively good for America. Now it's like watching two kids fighting on the playground. They either need to shape up or we should kick them out of school.”
Mr. Obama and Mr. Romney, it’s time that each of you share your long term vision for America! We want to know what vision you will lead from if elected President of America.
. . . remember that America’s best days aren’t behind her. America’s best days are ahead of her. They always have been and always will be.

GOOD GRIEF, YOU HAVE A VISION, DON’T YOU?
