Thank you. I hope that the people who didn't vote for Obama will come to a place where they realize this election is much bigger than politics - that their hopes and dreams are welcome in Obama's big tent. They have nothing to fear, and moving to a place of union instead of division should not scare them, and does not mean they will lose anything. After 8 long years, I am once again proud to be an American, and so grateful to be alive to have seen the day that takes us into a new history.

Best compilation I have seen, thank you, and God bless the United States of America

5:14 puts a smile on my face that cannot be explained. Those words put to this music creates a motivational force that cannot be explained. All the hatred for this president for no apparent reason cannot be explained. Somehow after watching this video nearly a hundred times since last december, the world makes a lot more sense to me now =]

@dmast21 I too worked on the Obama campaign in my spare time, please Barack, do not let those voices that got you elected determine our presidency, please fight for us, the promise of America, I beg of you, fight for us, not the CEO's who care not for our country, but only of tax breaks....fight for us, and you will find a majority that cannot be overwhelmed by lobbyists, or corporate interests.

Amazing compilaiton...I worked on his campaign for almost 20 hours a week while I was in college...When I got off work, I ran upto the library to print homework off, and came home to find my roomate watching the Iowa Caucus. My jaw hit the floor, I knew then he would be the next President...it was an awesome moment. Explosions are so tight.
