Obama could not be possible without their sacrifice and too numerous to name and many unnamed heroes.<BR/><BR/>'Let Obama Go." Older generation politicians and activists - Don’t try to hold on to him or hold him back until you feel he is ready. Let him ascend to the higher heights that he can reach. <BR/><BR/>He is able and ready to be the next President of the United States of America.june_rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13764287465052395209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21083673.post-62057753780490308662008-07-15T06:55:00.000-07:002008-07-15T06:55:00.000-07:00This was truly a good speech.

I also feel that if this came from a white presidential candidate, that (although it would still be just as true), people would not be as receptive. While I do not feel that all of his plans are on a realistic time line, I think it is a clearer message than we have heard from presidential candidates in a while.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00289460307299407624noreply@blogger.com
