Senator Obama and the power of one

Yohannes Assefa
There is
something powerful occurring in the Ethiopian-American community. People
who were never inspired to take part in the political process are

will always love the land of their birth, they realize that they are
deeply engrained in the United States and are vested in the direction of
this great country. Never before has a politician inspired so many
people from so many backgrounds and countries to unite for our common
purposes.
Senator Obama speaks about the power of
one--the power that a sole individual has to change their community and
eventually change the world.[Full
