Hip Hop For Obama - Hope

On January 3, 2008, Senator Barack Obama won the Democratic Iowa caucus by a large margin. During his victory speech, he spoke of hope.

"Years from now, you'll look back and you'll say that this was the moment - this was the place - where America remembered what it means to hope.

For many months, we've been teased, even derided for talking about hope.

But we always knew that hope is not blind optimism. It's not ignoring the enormity of the task ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path. It's not sitting on the sidelines or shirking from a fight. Hope is that thing inside us that insists, despite all evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it, and to work for it, and to fight for it." - Barack Obama

heh.  I believe in free speech too guys. I like Ron Paul, but some of his supporters seem to be off their meds. You guys are welcome to say anything you want in my video comments without fear of censor. Blatant ignorance doesn't bother me a bit, nor do I think it convinces anyone to support Dr. Paul or not to support Senator Obama.
