people say Obama's words are just words... but... when was the last time "words" weren't important...???...
when was the last time a great leader didn't use words to lead...??... when was the last time a person didn't use words to describe how they felt...?... when was the last time "words" weren't empowering...?...
and we can all recall the last time "words" were used to divide us and install fear...
Bush used words to fear us into voting for him the second time around... terror this... terror that... nuclear here... weapons of mass destruction there...
and those words effected a lot of people's choices...
"enough is enough"... let's rebuild...
let's change ourselves... let's allow positivity to guide us...
let's take action.... let's activate our passion... we are Americans....
and this is the first time in forever that someone running for president represents "US"...
some say this is all excitement... I call it "proud to be an American"...
some say this whole Obama movement is "cult like"... well... if it comes across cult like... then... the cult is called America...
the Obama movement is connecting America. and it has made "US" realize our importance... the youth is excited and activated... adults are passionate and motivated... the elderly are proud to know the country they built is in safe hands...
we are one...
for too long politics has been corrupt... separate from the American people... with agendas that go against what the American people "need"... education... health... safety... jobs etc...
politicians have spoken a different language... making it so the youth and poor people feel as if voting was only for the wealthy and old people... making "US" feel as if "we" had no voice... making "US" feel powerless... making it feel like if "we" did vote it wouldn't change anything...
but wait... that did happen... some of us voted, and it didn't change anything...
we were in the dark... we had no voice... we were powerless...
because America was not a united America... and "they" spoke a different language... and they had an agenda different from our well being...
correct me if I'm wrong... or speak up if I'm missing something...
we want education, health, safety, and good jobs...right???... oh yeah... and "a healthy planet to live on"...
but here we are...
in a war... poor education... poor health programs... the dollar is down... the planet, polluted... the rich, richer... and the poor, struggling... with sky high gas prices to top it all off...
and now even the rich aren't really rich internationally because our dollar is has fallen so far down...
in our slumber... a very small few got really rich...
because when you're sleeping...
"it's hard to change agendas"...
we know what happened in 2000 and 2004... but in 2008... it's different...
we are awake... and there is a movement...
and "it's hard to change a movement"...
last time "we" didn't have a movement... America wasn't united...
and now "United and "Standing"...for something... we know the power of "US"... and we have a person who represents the "U.S."...

Congratulations, Mr. President.
-Lyrics-
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.
