I love Obama, and hate the music effects:)

[cultureshift]

You are absolutely right about the music. Yes, I am the responsible party.  I hate the music too, and I should have dug around until I found better music. At least Barack was a rock star, even if the music sucks.

Great video. Great message. Bad choice of music though. (Well, semi-bad). Not sure what I would have used, but it sounds a little too cheesy.

Actually, instead of music, I'd make it more visually captivating, by animating his words, and zooming and cropping during the important parts (you did a bit of that with the subtitles, which was good, but like 10,000 times more).

Great video overall though.

Mike, thanks for the comment. I agree about the cheesy music. Next time I'll do better.

Great Video!

Thank you, Tom. I was lucky enough to be sitting about 10 feet away from the man as he spoke.

I'm not voting for him because he's black.

It's because he's smart, diplomatic, and he seems like the right kind of person to fix Bush's screw-ups.

For change to occur, you first have to aim for it. What he is aiming for has been unprecedented in America. I love him for his visions and herculian efforts to aim for a standard and not budge.

he has done more fucking damage within the last 2 months than bush did in 8 years

Obama will "go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to" together.

Obama wants to change the politics as it's played. When this happens, he'll try to correct the things that G.W. Bush screwed-up, including foreign policy of international cooperation, stop the abuse on the US Constitution, and help the families and children in the U.S. I think Hillary will do a good job too, but she will do nothing to change the politics as it's played now. And I think she'll do/say wrong and hurtful things just to appease some groups over others. She's divisive.

-A majority of people think he's for REAL change on the Iraq war [After I viewed his future plans for Iraq, I realized he'll stay the course]

-Others want to make history: The 1st 'Black' president of the United States of America. They don't really care about his policies, as long as he gets in.

What I don't see Obama, Hillary & McCain discussing is the root causes of our Fail economy, foreign policies, the increasing abuses against the US Constitution & ways to fix them.

Um what U just said was very unintelligent notice I said (I think) meaning my opinion duh I understand if I said O all blacks R voting 4 him cuz he's black no I said I think meaning-my opinion not fact, now I'll ask again did I ever say I spoke 4 all black people?

[RustythePirate]

Right here - "I think black people are voting 4 him just cause he's black"

Unless you have asked everyone single black American who supports Obama why they are supporting him, you have no authority to believe this.

[MalcomAP]

What when did I ever say I speak him 4 all black people?
