Barack Obama in Jacksonville - November 3rd

November 3, 2008 - The Day Before the Election. Barack Obama takes the stage in Jacksonville after less than 45 days from his previous visit. His unprecedented speech raised the bar to the roar of a hype crowd of tens of thousands as he reinforced a new America...

"We can prove we are more than a country of red states and blue states, we are the United States of America...we need a better government, a smarter government, a more confident government. A government that fights for you!"

Just minutes before Joe Biden made his presence felt in Missouri. He stated to the applause of thousands "We need a New Brand of American leadership".

Obama's presence in Jacksonville marks a historical moment dating back to 2000 (Bushy Tails). Before Barack many Jacksonville residents , particularly African Americans, had a sour taste in their mouths towards politics. But with a refreshing, new Vision and Brand Recognition, their just may be hope for America and the "Joshua Generation".

In his words (recorded from today's speech)...

"McCain hasn't been a Maverick, he has been a sidekick to George Bush"...

"McCain called for less regulations 21 times this year alone, and he still can't tell you what he will do different from Bush...He spent most of his time during the election to talk about me. He's out of touch!"

"...we need leadership that will focus on what we have in common, no our differences."

"We are in the middle of the largest crisis since the Great Depression...760,000 workers were jobless this year (2008)"

"We have a chance to rebuke that kind of politics"

"I promise to reduce taxes for everyone that makes an annual income of less that 250k...and to END those tax breaks to companies that give away jobs oversees. I will provide tax breaks to the companies that hire right here in the U.S. of America."

Health Care: "You shouldn't have to choose between government ran health care and the one you have...we are going to reduce your current premium"

Education: "Early Childhood Education"

War: "I will End this War!"

Veterans: "My promise to the young people, if you work in a homeless shelter or assist any of our government agencies like the Veterans...I guarantee to reduce your school tuition so you can further your education"
"I am gonna help PAY for this."

I'm not an american but I hope that Obama win the election , because he has the ability to change wrong policies that America has made during Bush time . We need to believe again in America . We need Obama to lead the world.

Americans will go to the ground, they like people like Sarah Palin, what can you say to that?.. Glen Beck is the more influencial person in News Media.

The believe that creating rules for banks, and oil companies is bad, they believe that global warming is a hoax.

They believe that an economy that lost almost 10 million jobs can be turned upside down in 1 or 2 or 3 years.

Vote Republican and lets see where that takes the country, lets go back to the Bush days.

I am sorry you are "living in a moral-less God-less society, (and) watching the lethargic and uninspired become stronger than those who support the American dream"

but i think its time for you to wake up and smell the roses!

Obama to lead the world?

If the goverment is broken, why are we making it bigger?

You aren't American, so you should love Obama. You won't be the one paying double in taxes, living in a moral-less God-less society, or watching the lethargic and uninspired become stronger than those who support the American dream.

Obama is a tremendous risk and I fear a complete disaster.

Godspeed to us over the next 4 years.
