Hillary is TOTALY my homegirl in the 2008 Primaries, but you have to admit just how incredible Barack Obama is as a speaker. I keep on watching the Will.I.Am video (the first one, "Yes We Can", because there is now a second video that you can find on YouTube) and thinking... Wow. Every time I listen to this speech - a concession speech; I mean he made this not because he won New Hampshire but because he LOST! - I almost cry... almost. It's just incredibly inspirational. Seriously, we need more Obamas in U.S. Politics. My favorite line in the speech is, "[I]n the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope." Remarkable.
Watch the video:
Here is a the second video that I referenced. My favorite line is when the young woman is saying, "I think the think that inspires me the most about Obama is that he really is going to be the president of the United States. He's not going to be the president of the top ten percent, or the president of the most powerful corporations, or president of the most powerful lobbyists. He's going to be our president. He's going to speak for us, because we put him there."
And seriously, mad props for making the video in both Spanish and English. This country needs to realize that in a "Nation of Immigrants" that language needs to be embraced! We need to embrace our multinational heritage and recognize those who are linguistically persecuted.

Hello. This post is likeable, and your blog is very interesting, congratulations :-). I will add in my blogroll =). If possible gives a last there on my blog, it is about the Monitor de LCD, I hope you enjoy. The address is http://monitor-de-lcd.blogspot.com. A hug.
The great thing about Obama and his campaign is that he speaks to all people, not just people into politics but the regular every day American who may not know too much about politics. People who know that they want something better out of a president. Speaks on a basic level to maybe reach a greater audience, I have to say watching him speak, since the beginning, has always affected and moved me. He really does inspire hope.
