'Audacity of Hope' is a popular, invigorating meme. Romney uses it to advance his candidacy. He calls on people to limit their concerns to self-advancement doing business. The broader aspect of the meme is to be 'inclusive'. It is not sufficient to acknowledge the entitlement of those who have it. It is esential to work for those who do not have it, and not belittle the efforts of those who provide leadership in this matter.

Mitt Romney wants to steal Obama's ongoing 'Audacity of Hope', slow in translation over the past 4 years recovering from the financial disaster delivered the nation in 2008 by the Republicans, inherited wars, and the failed 'congressional legislative grid-lock experiment' of 2010-2012.
A wealthy businessman, Romney and the corporate money pacs enabled by the 'citizens united' Ruling of 2010, are 'renting the Republican party' as a roadway to pay homage with a high return on their money to the global money-cartel.
They propose in all they do, to tax the 99% to coddle the broad 1%.
Wall-Street remains occupied, as 2.8 billion people live on less than $2 per head per day under the current 'free-market', leading to 30,000 daily global poverty deaths, and the downtrodden have the audacity to hope they will be granted human rights on their minimum needs and American citizens would no longer turn away from the issue requiring them to be 'within the shores', which is an impossibility for them.
Under 'globalization', informational, cultural, and financial borders have been erased, questioning the historical record of massive distinctions in levels of consumption; leadership requirement: be kind, not just to some, but all.
This is the main story to be told, the suffering of a globalized population and solutions thereto; not that of the ability of a 'Romney / Ryan' team to package the 'audacity of hope' in a self-centered context of choice for this election that would be used if elected to deliver profits such as that at Bain Capital to the 1% and the money-cartel, alienating them further from the people; a bad step for humankind.
What is right for the people, is 'Obama's Audacity of Hope' and concern for each in the village.
Let's make it 'Our Day' on Nov. 6, 2012.

Authors Bio:Our top priority must be to realize non-violently Article 3 of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Those of the First World population have realized Article 3 for themselves and reciprocity is a productive, healthy guideline; so, let's devise and achieve the needful in a socially organic manner to "Meet the Minimum Needs of All",(MMNA), and benefit from the enhanced mental health, prior to pursuit of additional profit.
I am a professor of physics at a university, and I also have an interest in social psychology / social planning. As a boy growing up in India in the 1940s, I observed the implications of scarcity in the distribution of food and other resources. Some received little and that left me uneasy leading to a desire to strive to meet the minimum needs of others around me. Today, economic development has reduced scarcity while the uneven distribution leaves about half the global population in penury.
In the year 2002, I had the opportunity to share this concern 'on the poverty of many' with Quakers of New York Yearly Meeting (NYYM) of the Religious Society of Friends, that eventually led to a (NYYM) Minute on "Meet the Minimum Needs of All" in 2006, and work on MMNA continues...
The creation and utilization of the Internet over the past couple of decades has resulted in higher levels of global communication and interactive participation, creating expectations on global accountability, to drive the future; it places new responsibilities on those who govern and the governed.
This opportunity creates the hope that MMNA may be realized by 2030.
That said, I have published five research papers on human resource development, have negotiated contracts for a group, am in my second marriage, am blessed with two sons and their families, my wife, our daughter, extended family members and F/friends.
