The "Obama Movement"

http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/blog/08ama

*****

Americans today are showing a level of interest early in the 2008 presidential race that is completely without precedent. The intense focus of the American public on the race for the presidency, many months before even the first primaries and caucuses, reveals the extent to which regular Americans are longing for a new, meaningful politics. It is this extraordinary pang of hunger for change in America right now that explains Barack Obama's unlikely and astonishingly rapid ascent to become the most inspiring and hopeful figure in American politics since President Ronald Reagan, or even President John F. Kennedy.

And Barack Obama believes that the best advocates for the people are the people themselves, not politicians. That is why the Obama candidacy for President is more than a campaign, it is truly a grassroots movement.

I recognize there is a certain presumptuousness - a certain audacity - to this video blog. But if you want to know more about Barack Obama, if you want America to turn the page on the tired politics of the last generation, you should watch this video!

And forgive me for "someones" without the apostrophe. Haha.

[esideeuknome]

nothing is "more' clear

[skarefamena]

Haha. I just got reamed on another video commentary wall for correcting someones English.

Anyway, if you'll forgive me, I think that yours is fair editorial suggestion, but that "clearer" is also correct, perhaps more correct (haha, "correcter"). It sounds awkward because of the syllabically adjacent "r's," but nonetheless both are commonly accepted parlance.

Many comparative forms of adjectives only admit either the "___-er" or "more __" form, but this appears to be a case where both are ok.

Google "more clear"& "clearly" at the same time and read the lively discussions.

Very, very well said and written. You're right dude, Obama is the best hope we have for this country and this Earth. He will be the first "community organizer" President, familiar with every aspect of this country from the ground up. He'll go down in history as one of the greatest leaders of all time.

Take the movement to your friends and family - they want proof? Get the text on Obama's website.

Please come back to the US and work for the Obama campaign. We need people like yourself to articulate and spread the word that Obama must become our new president ! :)

Thank You From Toronto. I Watched your video and I must say you have produced a well thoughtout and compelling video. Keep the good work.

But anyway, it was a long hard-fought primary. Hillary Clinton did great, but even she acknowledges she didn't win, and now she's calling for the party to unify behind Obama, who will be the nominee. I hope that you will still see the merits of voting Democrat in the fall, even though Hillary won't be at the top of the ticket.
