Author of Obama Muslim rumor now pushing Commie rumorSEN. OBAMA says he will restore prosperity and sense of 'higher purpose.'

CANTON, Ohio – Closing his case for the presidency, Barack Obama presented himself Monday as a unifier for an embattled country, promising to deliver days of "hope over fear."
Obama's bid for a knockout blow, delivered in the vitally competitive state of Ohio, was not bare-knuckled. Rather, buoyed by front-runner status and frenetic crowds, Obama used the moment to get beyond the sparring with John McCain and restore a theme of inspiration.
"In one week, we can choose hope over fear, unity over division, the promise of change over the power of the status quo," Obama said. "In one week, we can come together as one nation, and one people, and once more choose our better history. That's what's at stake."
The speech also was aimed at positioning Obama as a statesman-in-waiting. His soaring language was a throwback to a time before the conversation drew more specific and ugly.
"The change we need isn't just about new programs and policies," Obama said to a roaring crowd at Canton's civic center. "It's about a new attitude, it's about new politics — a politics that calls on our better angels instead of encouraging our worst instincts." LinkHere
