OBAMA CAMPAIGN INSPIRATION AND OBSERVATIONS

Posted By: Ay Ville on February 17, 2008

I truly believe that history involving all of us - We the People - is about to be made: I believe in Barack Obama. Hillary is mostly involved with herself, and with leading us where SHE wants us to go, instead of helping us get to where WE ALREADY KNOW we want to be as a nation...we're supposed to just follow along behind her, like good little sheep - Barack is a Uniter, who wants to empower us all.
I would like to share with you here from time to time things which I have found to be inspiring; I would also like to pass along observations that strike me as this historical presidential campaign progresses.

Right off the bat:

1 - There is a wonderful and very inspiring music video on Youtube that I have made a point of making people aware of. It's called 'Obama Portrait Music Video.' This can be downloaded FOR FREE from the composer's website in high resolution; the soundtrack includes excerpts from Obama's famous 2004 speech. You can download the soundtrack separately if you wish. I know for a fact that this Portrait has been shown at house parties and fund raisers all across America. Many people have found it moving. It is either a wonderful introduction or further inspiration for those of us who already know and fight for Obama. It is about 6 minutes long.

We will all have to roll up our sleeves and come together if we're going to take back this country and get the things done that we need - and to regain respect from the world around us. We can't go around the world telling other people how to run their countries when our own house is so messy millions are afraid of even common illnesses because it could lead to homelessness. Health care is a right, not a privilege. Barack is going to give us the same health care insurance he and other members of Congress get and, unlike Hillary, he will make sure we can all afford it - ! Hillary will go after your paycheck if you don't buy her brand of health care insurance - she'll deduct it from your check whether you like it or not! Barack knows we all want health care, that's plain common sense, that's why he will bring the health care insurance cost way down - instead of forcing our paychecks way down like Hillary promises.

2 - A shorter inspirational piece called 'Obama Song Portrait: We are the Change' is also on Youtube. It is a combination of Latino rhythms, Chinese erhu instrument, African- and Native-American voices - all of them working together, with Barack thrilling the crowds all the way through. Take a look, here's the link:

WE ARE THE CHANGE WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
YES WE CAN - AND WE WILL - ALL OF US TOGETHER
