Why do I get the feeling that is not going to happen?

Valuers and preservers of our laws and constitution v. perpetrators of unjust wars, executive branch immunity, and domestic espionage.

Fair-minded, intelligent listeners v. stubborn, unblinking deniers.

Respecters and protectors of human rights across the world v. torturers refusing the-innocent-until-proven-guilty trials.

If Obama is elected, I hope we give education and science a chance to prosper us.

I hope we give economic and racial justice/equality a chance to prosper every American, especially ignored rural towns and inner-cities.

Here is what I hope, paraphrased from a recent song about Obama by MC Yogi:

Ladies and gentlemen, beautiful intelligent
friends of all ages, races and measurements
US citizens, worldwide residents
whatever your religion is or sexual preference

There's no separateness, there's one thing connecting us
that's the planet we inhabit plus all its different elements
that's the reason why we need a new President
someone who understands interconnectedness

And won't go to war based on false evidence
who's not addicted to oil and aggressiveness
who believes in global warming and will fight pollution
instead of shredding and abusing our constitution

Let's get involved and offer all our contributions
Vote for hope, join the movement of this revolution
A brighter day will come
A brighter day will come

Change comes when we believe
in a brighter day a better way to succeed
together we can make it better, you and me
together we can be safe, prosperous, and free
...

We gotta make it happen- time for some action
it don't matter if you're black, white, Asian, Latin
We gotta vote for hope and steer clear of fear
Regardless of the garbage they put in our ears

Talking heads on the radio, television
spinning the facts, treating us like we're little children
but even with the propaganda they can't stop us can they?
Because we know in our souls that we're gonna stand up

And let our voices be heard word to the people
let's make sure this election is fair and equal
no more illegal war, dying on a distant shore
that's the reason why Obama's who we're voting for

"There is not a liberal America and a conservative America, there is the United States of America. There is not a black America and a white America, a Latino America, an Asian America, there is the United States of America."

Throughout the song, he splices quotes from Obama's 2004 DNC speech and Obama saying the words, "Safe, prosperous and free." It made me cry the first time I heard it- Obama reading our constitution: all people created equal, with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. He then says that is God's greatest gift to us, the true genius of America.

I wonder if John McCain could go back and change anything, if he wouldn't have "de-invented" the internet.

Everyone do what you can and we will make history!! Let's all look forward to meeting Obama in five, ten, or twenty years and letting him know we did what we could to elect him!

You've got to love when Republicans underestimate voters. There are some things that either chap our asses or inspire us enough to vote. Now I think we have both conditions; here's to hoping for the perfect storm.
