5 Days To Freedom

“I realize that I am not the likeliest candidate for this office. I don’t fit the typical pedigree, and I haven’t spent my career in the halls of Washington.

But I stand before you tonight because all across America something is stirring. What the naysayers don’t understand is that this election has never been about me; it’s about you.

It’s about you.

For 18 long months, you have stood up, one by one, and said, “Enough,” to the politics of the past. You understand that, in this election, the greatest risk we can take is to try the same, old politics with the same, old players and expect a different result.

You have shown what history teaches us, that at defining moments like this one, the change we need doesn’t come from Washington. Change comes to Washington.”

– Barack Obama, 8/28/08

    Much as the skinheads, secessionists and separatists will not claim this president as their own, I haven’t had an advoctae in the White House since January 19, 2001. About time the country woke up.

    That title sounds like it needs to become a song lyric. Wyclef?
