people say Obama's words are just words...
but...
when was the last time "words" weren't important...???...
when was the last time a great leader didn't use words to lead...??...
when was the last time a person didn't use words to describe how they felt...?...
when was the last time "words" weren't empowering...?...
and we can all recall the last time "words" were used to divide us and install fear...
Bush used words to fear us into voting for him the second time around...
terror this...
terror that...
nuclear here...
weapons of mass destruction there...
and those words effected a lot of people's choices...
"enough is enough"...
let's rebuild...
let's change ourselves...
let's allow positivity to guide us...
let's take action....
let's activate our passion...
we are Americans....
and this is the first time in forever that someone running for president represents "US"...
some say this is all excitement...
I call it "proud to be an American"...
some say this whole Obama movement is "cult like"...
well...
if it comes across cult like...
then...
the cult is called America...
the Obama movement is connecting America.
and it has made "US" realize our importance...
the youth is excited and activated...
adults are passionate and motivated...
the elderly are proud to know the country they built is in safe hands...
we are one...
for too long politics has been corrupt...
separate from the American people...
with agendas that go against what the American people "need"...
education...
health...
safety...
jobs
etc...
politicians have spoken a different language...
making it so the youth and poor people feel as if voting was only for the wealthy and old people...
making "US" feel as if "we" had no voice...
making "US" feel powerless...
making it feel like if "we" did vote it wouldn't change anything...
but wait...
that did happen...
some of us voted, and it didn't change anything...
we were in the dark...
we had no voice...
we were powerless...
because America was not a united America...
and "they" spoke a different language...
and they had an agenda different from our well being...
correct me if I'm wrong... or speak up if I'm missing something...
we want education, health, safety, and good jobs...right???...
oh yeah...
and "a healthy planet to live on"...
but here we are...
in a war... poor education... poor health programs... the dollar is down... the planet, polluted...
the rich, richer... and the poor, struggling...
with sky high gas prices to top it all off...
and now even the rich aren't really rich internationally because our dollar is has fallen so far down...
in our slumber... a very small few got really rich...
because when you're sleeping...
"it's hard to change agendas"...
we know what happened in 2000 and 2004...
but in 2008...
it's different...
we are awake...
and there is a movement...
and "it's hard to change a movement"...
last time "we" didn't have a movement...
America wasn't united...
and now "United and "Standing"...for something...
we know the power of "US"...
and we have a person who represents the "U.S."...
"US"...
"we are the ones we've been waiting for"...
I'm proud to be an American...

[@timjohnson6686]

Obama so overrated

[@Aprilium]

The boondocks brought me here

[@GMack]

The sentiment here is right on target. Our mistake is that we put them all onto one person, thinking he would be able to make the change that we want to see. We then sat back and watched. If you want to see the change, you will need to be there making it, not discussing it, not criticizing, but working for it. We need to stand for ourselves, together. We need to believe in ourselves and these ideals and put our faith into that, not any single person.

Man, U.S. politics brings forth the weirdest secular cults I've seen in my lifetime. This style of music would be great in a church choir singing to Jesus, but this is just way too creepy for me.

[@zachbaker778]

Very astute observation. Do you know anything about the "Cathedral" theory of government by any chance?

[@Post-ModernCzechoslovakianWar]

@@zachbaker778 Funny you mentioned that. I actually was linked to this video when reading Moldbug's letter to reasonable progressives or whatever that was titled (I need to resume and finish at some time.) And yes I've heard of the "Cathedral" and I believe it is real. Thanks for the reply, and I'm glad that you liked my thought process. I think I like where you're going as well.

I am a republican and not ashamed of it. I believe that what a man works hard for, he earned and it shouldnt be taken away from him and given to others who have not. So if that makes me a disaster, I am proud of that. :) As far as being in love with money, I say that would be the democrats who continue to spend while we are so broke now we will never recover. Somebody forgot to tell them there is no more money--they spent it all!

Obama is one of the best presidents America has ever had.

[@comradestalin2199]

He's the best president if you're a rich warmongering industrialist who owns/has stock in a weapons company. Your mommy and/or daddy are probably Wall Street people that use the money they steal from the rest of us to spoil you with shit you'll never have to work for, so of course you like him. He enabled your parents to abuse the market even more. *Thanks for fucking us over.*

Watching this makes me sad, since President Obama leaves in exactly one week. And what's even sadder and gets me angry is the fact that he is being replaced by a racist, misogynistic, sexist, spoiled brat with no political experience, instead of a qualified, experience, strong-willed, tough woman who has dedicated her life to helping and serving the needs of others. Thank you President Obama and Secretary Clinton for everything you've done for our country. We'll continue fighting for the rights of others and to make sure we don't lose all the progress we've accomplish in the last 8 years. Stay strong everyone! 🙏🏼💪🏼
