It's been a while since I've looked at this video, and as I do, another great memory of that night came flooding back. I had just finished up a project at the U of I in Champaign, IL, and was packing up my van to head back to Milwaukee, when the victory projection came on CNN...the roar from all over campus was incredible! The footage of students cheering and running near the beginning of this video reminds me so much of that night...thanks again for a great tribute to a NEW ERA for America!
One of my favorite videos here on YouTube...not to sound totally cheesy, but whenever I'm having a "down" day and it feels like I'm aiming for the impossible, I watch this and am inspired. I will never forget that night, as I was traveling for work. I stopped for gas just south of Chicago, and a young black man of 19 was at the pump next to me, tears in his eyes. It had been his first time voting for Pres., and he was so ecstatic that Obama had won & that his own g'ma was alive to see it!
Awesome video. We need to remember why we elected this man. Changing the current power structure to benefit everyone is not as easy as we all thought. This video is a reminder to just what we came out of. Lest we forget, the work is just beginning!
qnfoster...I so agree...we need to remember why...its going to be a tough road for us all, together as a nation...but at least we can have some real trust (even when we don't necessarily agree) that the person "behind the wheel" has our best interest in mind...great song and video presentation...thx to the producer!!! And thanx to my fellow countrymen and women!!!
This is why the birthers hate us. Stand together, world. Join as one. They'll either accept the new world or swirl away as the forgotten dust of history. Tasty job of editing, J. Fife. Beautiful fucking job. I'm in tears.
jimmydoe--thanks for posting that; it is awesome!!! I posted a video response because we had the EXACT same idea--you are definitely the creativity winner, 'though!!! EXCELLENT!
Absolutely MAGNIFICENT!!!! JimmyDoe I found 5 Oscars at the Hollywood filmmakers lost and found,they wouldn't happen to be yours would they? -SuperstarX,you ain't never lying!
Thank you Jimmy Doe, I get goose bumps at the end of the video. This moment in time reminds me of Return of the Jedi. When the Jedi defends the the Sith and the whole world rejoices as it marks an end to corruption and the evil ways of the sith
THANX GOOD PEOPLE OF THE USA, WHO VOTED THIS TIME THE RIGHT MAN! I'M SO F*CKING HAPPY, THAT MR. BARACK OBAMA IS NOW THE 44th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! HE'S THE BEST CURE FOR AMERICA & THE REST OF THE WORLD!!!
ALSO, MEGA F*CKING HAPPY, THAT THE BIGGEST F*CK IDIOT IN US-HISTORY MUST FINALY GO! WHAT GOOD THINGS, WERE DONE BY THIS BRAINDEAD? LET ME PLEASE KNOW, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW!
