i really like Obama and his ideas, but i think Hilary should win. And after america's economy is brought around, then Obama can implement whatever it is he wanna do. social reforms, popular as it may be, just doesnt work as it's supposed to when the economy is faltering.


i wonder if you guys had heard his 'Yes, We Can' speech. but anyway, it's been made into a song and i guess it's pretty good.





It was a creed
written into the founding documents
that declared the destiny of a nation.

Yes we can.

It was whispered
by slaves and abolitionists
as they blazed a trail toward freedom.

Yes we can.

It was sung by immigrants
as they struck out from distant shores
and pioneers who pushed westward
against an unforgiving wilderness.

Yes we can.

It was the call of workers who organized;
women who reached for the ballots;
a President who chose the moon as our new frontier;
and a King who took us to the mountaintop
and pointed the way to the Promised Land.

Yes we can to justice and equality.

Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.

Yes we can heal this nation.

Yes we can repair this world.

Yes we can.

We know the battle ahead will be long,
but always remember that no matter what
obstacles stand in our way,
nothing can stand in the way of the power
of millions of voices calling for change.

We have been told
we cannot do this
by a chorus of cynics...
they will only grow louder
and more dissonant

We've been asked
to pause for a reality check.
We've been warned against
offering the people of this nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that is America,
there has never been anything false about hope.

Now the hopes of the little girl
who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon
are the same as the dreams of the boy
who learns on the streets of LA;
we will remember that there is something happening in America;
that we are not as divided as our politics suggests;
that we are one people; we are one nation;
and together, we will begin the next great chapter
in the American story with three words
that will ring from coast to coast;
from sea to shining sea --

Yes. We. Can.
