Obama & Will.I.Am: Yes we can
Some argue that being inspiring isn't enough;
that giving hope is insufficient;
that being smart and having principles doesn't go far enough;
that representing and wanting change is a fantasy; and
that bringing us together and asking us to do good is an
inadequate goal for the president of the United States.
Watch this video and consider if someone could do the same with a speech from Bush, McCain, or Hillary. This is the kind of inspiration people receive from Barack Obama. Will.I.Am was able to be inspired and put together this song and video in just two days with nothing but a few calls to friends.
Do I know Barack Obama will be a good president? No, I don't. But I'm willing to give the inspiring, hopeful, smart, principled, uniting, agent for change a chance.
Or perhaps I should let Will.I.Am say it. This is taken from DipDive.com:
No one on this planet is truly experienced to handle the obstacles we face today...
Terror, fear, lies, agendas, politics, money, all the above...
It’s all scary...
Martin Luther King didn't have experience to lead...
Kennedy didn't have experience to lead...
Susan B. Anthony...
Nelson Mandella...
Rosa Parks...
Gandhi...
Anne Frank...
and everyone else who has had a hand in molding the freedoms we have and take for granted today...
no one truly has experience to deal with the world today...
they just need "desire, strength, courage ability, and passion" to change...
and to stand for something even when people say it's not possible...
