OPRAH CRIES for BARACK OBAMA "YES WE CAN" NATURAL MYSTIC REMIX

The Story of Ann Nixon Cooper set to the late Great Bob Marley and his timeless classic Natural Mystic.

This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight's about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.
She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons -- because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.
And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America -- the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.
At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.
When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.
When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.
She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "We Shall Overcome." Yes we can.
A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.
And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.
Yes we can.
America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves -- if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment.


This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.
Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.

@bakcompat ur mom is a faggot

[doitanywayz]

this proves that americans believe anything lol

[bakcompat]

@amarantin3 Really? That would mean I'd never have been born, which is obviously untrue. Why am I not surprised that an Obama zealot would resort to personal attacks... Just another untruth from an Obama disciple it would seem.

I will not deny that this was a historic event. But you cannot deny his presidency has been a joke. Democrats had congress from 2006 to 2010 Obama was swore in january 20th 2009, That was plenty of time to atleast slow down the horrible economy. But instead Obama has spent in 4 years more than bush did in 8..

@oldschoolGhost Bush did not give up on osama, And do not forget the many time osama was out in the open ALL the time when clinton was in office

[oldschoolGhost]

To all the hater comments on this page all I can say is.....

When GW Bush gave up on bin Laden.....

Barack Obama said, "Yes we can!!!" and took Osama out.
