    A president that talks to the people on the streets, gets them together for a cause of having a voice in their own country, and believing in something valuable in this society is the credential of a leader that speaks more loudly than one who just speaks to politicians and uses people to exercise their own agenda.
    BARACK OBAMA is the candidate of the necessary phase in America's growth, and the U.S is my community. I pay $3+ for gas in chicago, just as people in L.A.
    Barack for Pres!

    This is a real leader. He came back to Chicago after law school, when he could have gone to any other major law firm in the country. He is the embodiment of a GREAT LEADER. America please elect this man. Don't just do it for your country, do it for the future of the entire world.

    I see something very big at work in Barack's level of energy, success, and ability, at certain times in our history we are sent one who is here to right wrongs and show us the way, it is clear to me that this is one of those times, and Barack is one of those messengers.

    "If you couldn't be bothered to register I wonder if your going to be aware of an election and go to take time to vote in it."
    I think that part of the process, though, is helping them along with the "awareness" part. Not only are they registering people to vote, but they are encouraging them to stand up for themselves politically, which would, in turn, lead to more informed voters, I believe.

    This is a great video and shows how passionate Obama is and how good of a listener to all sorts of perspectives he is. This is what we need in a president. Not a puppet for the likes of Cheney and Rumsfield, not a president who doesn't listen to the American people; we need Obama!

    It would be so cool to have a President with a grass roots organizer background. Given his background, I think he'd have deeper appreciation for our voices.

    I travel around the U.S, and much like any community, the same problems exist in Chicago as in L.A, N.Y, Detroit, Pittsburgh, and every place where we spend $3+ per gallon on gas, don't have strong dollar because it's being flushed by people who already have money, and people that have to go to county hospitals and risk not getting treated because of no insurance. I think the U.S is a community, and any president that knows about community values can help people, no matter where they are.

    Maybe people are happy that someone of substance is running for president. America is funny. We complain when we're not inspired, then we criticize and mock people who are. This man cares about people. He's smart, articulate, and even-keeled. Don't be so jaded that it blinds you to the real deal.

    Barack is not a political whore. His message is sincere and delivery is reasoned, inspired and heartfelt. Let's make up for the past eight years and take America back.

    I wish everyone thought this way but it's not the case in america. Sometimes you have to encourage people to make contributions when they feel it won't matter. I think this is why they started this project.

    Go Barack Obama! A fresh look at politics is just what this country needs. How much better can you get than a strict constitutionalist and someone who rejects lobbyists? It is like a founding father still exists!

    At what point in life is a person formally told about or made aware of his/her right to vote? Beyond what is discussed in the classroom. How is the importance and significance learned otherwise? Door to door is a great idea.

    It's not his problem that some states chose to disobey the law. If you disobey the law, then you can't be rewarded.

  • @mike50333
    @mike50333 16 років тому

    They did between 1920-1950s (at least). It was used to keep Black Americans from voting. Is that the sort of test that you're referring to?

    McCain is a likeable guy, although I honor his sacrifice as a POW, it is a separate issue when I consider who to vote for. I like Obama better because I agree more with his position on major issues. McCain was pro Iraq War from the beginning and for continuing it indefinitely. McCain is not for Universal Healthcare, against a woman's right to choose, for keeping Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy, and is against almost all gun control laws. He would also be the oldest president ever.

    Lets not hate on people and just deal with facts. Facts like Hillary also voted for No Child Left Behind and the Patriot act, as well as making assertions that there was an Al Qaeda/Iraq connection. I don't know how to make videos but I would love to see a mash up of these, maybe even with her Bosnia gaffe, quotes about Northern Ireland, Nafta. It's a patter that should be made clear.
