Is Barack Obama A Revolutionary Man?

I wrote this to my Facebook group Revolutionary Men today.  Each week I send you a challenge. Have you joined our group?
Hey Group.

Before we dive in to this week’s challenge, I want to acknowledge that today is a historic day.

It is essential to note that A Revolutionary Man does not discriminate or “hate on” other people or groups. It wasn’t that long ago that hatred was rampant in the USA. And, guess what? Sadly,
it still is.

We have come a long way since Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech. Today an African American President will take the reins to steer our Country’s ship. We are in a powerful time. At the same time, there is much more to do and yet, we have a long way to go. Whatever side of the fence you are on, the time has come to rise up to the challenges we face individually and collectively.

Today I heard Obama challenge us to step up. I’m a “yes” to that. Are you?

I challenge each of us to step up in some way this week and not look to others to do things for us. Push yourself this week to help another person. Make it your priority to “serve” this week. Make a commitment within the week that has to do with helping others in a tangible way.  Report about it on the wall. Share your story.

Think if MLK or Barak Obama were to “hold themselves back” from others. They could never have accomplished what they did and Obama wouldn’t be standing where he is today.

So, don’t hold back this week.

It is my hope that we live in and up to the Revolutionary qualities of brave men like MLK and Barak Obama. So, fight for your cause. Stand up for what is just, good, and right.

Notice if you think that Barak Obama is a Revolutionary Man. What qualities will you be watching for as he leads our country?

For me, it brings up the question: What kind of Man will I be? What legacy do I want to leave and how can I help the greater good right now?

  • Barack Obama is a good president. he is perhaps the most tech savvy president in the US.
  • I'd have to say that with Obama, I finally have HOPE that our country has a true leader. Only time will tell, just like our last so-called leader who was anything but revolutionary...quite the opposite of what men should aspire to be I think. But politics aside, personal responsibility and forthrightness should be one of the pillars of men's lives. Only time will tell for Obama, we can do it now.

    Jason, If there are qualities (actual action versus only promises) of Obama that are worth living up to, then please share them with us so I can study it intelligently and decide for myself. I'd like the man to inspire this country but I want to know I can trust the man first.

    Obama has got a long way to go before he's considered revolutionary in my eyes. Let's get past color and focus on what he actually does. Let's focus on his production before we call him anything other than a media darling. He will be revolutionary if he reinstates many of our constitutional rights that have eroded over the years. He will be revolutionary if he holds people accountable for their actions so they can learn from them (which the bailout is suggesting a habit of otherwise). He can talk big game on financial responsbility but so far he is rewarding the weak minded and stealing from the people who have been responsible. He also stated that Congress would have 5 days to review materials before voting on them. The bailout plan was available the night before the vote at 1030 PM. I am quite certain hardly anyone read the piece before voting on it. This is my bit of community service this week, WAKE UP PEOPLE, a revolutionary man is honest and keeps his word and if he doesn't, he at least addresses it to the people he gave his word to. Let's call this guy a revolutionary man when he actually proves he deserves the name...if he ever does. Joshua

    Greetings Jayson,
    I thank you for this program and this week's challenge. I did it last week, however. A friend of mine who does a lot for the community also has been out of town dealing with ailing and elderly relatives, her parents and an aunt. Her father passed away, and she has been working on getting the other two the care they need.
    We were talking at a meeting and I asked her if she had had any bodywork lately. She said no, I offered her a free session the next day, and she accepted. Receiving is important, too!
    I have high hopes for Obama, seeing that he has taken up one of my issues, responsibility. I created a new word, FREESPONSIBILITY. Neither freedom nor responsibility is a stand-alone concept. Either one, without the other to balance it, can and is often abused.
    As far as fiscal responsibility, well, my word 'underwhelmed' describes my impression about the amount of money spent.
    Walk one's talk? We shall see . . .
    Peace and Fun to all!
