Inspiration
There has been so much campaign idiocy that has infuriated me. I have a stack of stuff to post.
I'm throwing it away. Instead, I found this video from the Obama campaign. And it once again tells me why I am voting FOR Barack Obama, rather than just AGAINST John McCain.
In 2004, After Obama's speech to the DNC, I felt we had found an inspirational leader. 4 years later, I'm glad to have the opportunity to cast my vote for that man and his ideas.
...all across America something is stirring. What the nay-sayers don't understand is that this election has never been about me. It's about you.
For eighteen long months, you have stood up, one by one, and said enough to the politics of the past. You understand that in this election, the greatest risk we can take is to try the same old politics with the same old players and expect a different result. You have shown what history teaches us - that at defining moments like this one, the change we need doesn't come from Washington. Change comes to Washington. Change happens because the American people demand it - because they rise up and insist on new ideas and new leadership, a new politics for a new time.
...
America, we cannot turn back. Not with so much work to be done. Not with so many children to educate, and so many veterans to care for. Not with an economy to fix and cities to rebuild and farms to save. Not with so many families to protect and so many lives to mend. America, we cannot turn back. We cannot walk alone. At this moment, in this election, we must pledge once more to march into the future. Let us keep that promise - that American promise - and in the words of Scripture hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess.
Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
