What Obama has in common with Microsoft

Working for Obama reminds me of my time at Microsoft. In the early days at Microsoft, everyone was on a mission to change the world. People worked around the clock to push products out the door secure in the knowledge that what we were creating would fundamentally change the way people lived and worked. People worked 12-15 hours days. Seven days a week. Over holidays. And behind it all was Bill Gates, whom we all looked to for leadership and direction. It was a very inspiring and rewarding time.
I see the same energy and passion in the Obama campaign. People are working around the clock secure in the knowledge that what we are doing will fundamentally change the course of America and the world. And all this effort is being driven by the collective belief in Barack Obama and his vision for the country.
I feel blessed to be able to experience not one but two world changing campaigns.
