Yes We Can Obama Song by will.i.am
I admire Hillary Clinton and have deep respect for her intelligence, courage and her years of service to this nation. But Barack Obama has the intangibles on his side in this primary. He has the vision we can all share - a vision of a new system where party politics don't matter - where America is one and where the world is one. He invites us to become the change we seek - not just to beat up on Republicans - for being so greedy and putting an incompetent in the White House - but to move forward together.
Please don't equate spirituality with passivity. Stand up for your visions and your hopes for a better future. Say "Yes We Can!!!" Gandhi was the most courageous, outrageous and stubborn of humans. Yet, he held an unyielding vision of peace and freedom. That is what we need today.
Let's not just bring our soldiers in Iraq "OM." Let's bring them HOME. Let's not sit in our inner peace and let the world fall apart. Let's dare to get involved in the world again. Open your heart and listen to the leader who inspires you to be the best person you can be. Now is the time to unleash our love and feel our power - sending it out into the world where it can make a difference. Yes, We Can!
Peace,
Earon

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. That last paragraph should be tattooed on every goddamn forehead that uses this site.
I will be voting for Obama tomorrow. I have serious disagreements with many of his policies, but of the two, I believe he will make the greatest difference in the perhaps undoable mess the Worst President in History has gotten us in.

Let that leader be YOU and don't let any leader hinge you to his hopes while he sends armed minions to send their unbeknownst hands into your pockets. Let that leader be YOU for you. Let that leader be ME for me, willing to acknowledge that wellspring of authority as arising from the heart and not from those who speak lofty words to cajole a people into surrendering, once again, into hypnotised tokenism to political maneuverers who cloak themselves in the mantle of whatever so-called majority with which they plan to coerce individuals who simply choose to create their true worth, true expression, true faith, true inspiration and true manifestation from the province of their own connectedness to others in free exchange, rather than in surrender to mediatized hypnotists speaking from mediatized mountaintops and group-minds, etc., knowing full well that their plan is to empower themselves with the GUNS of state with which to enforce their visions - and thus devoid of true authority, unwilling to truly speak to hearts, unwilling to truly inspire - which means to propose true opt-in/ opt-out, join in and/or follow your own true path.
Mediatized hypnotists singing the chorus song of a new-fangled rehash of submission paid for by others - as always… token schemes for token dreams, no matter how funky the backbeat, remain that.
I'm talkin' Chicago, baby, tellin' it to you like it is. Tellin' you that man didn't make his way up that machine without playin' the schemes of dreams: http://www.judicialwatch.org/judicial-watch-announces-list-washington-s-ten-most-wanted-corrupt-politicians-2007
In the meanwhile, I dig the music and layout and drive behind the message, very much. Yes, there is nobility and all kinds of good things there - and the day we understand that using the coercive power of State ( which IS threat) in the name of vision is false from the outset.
I'd love to hear more about your Primate theories. Thank you for sharing your inspiration.

Shawn, thanks for sharing your vision and hope. I hope our country is weaning itself off of the Reagan/Bush kool-aid (Deficits?, nope, I don't see no freaking deficits!) A cab driver I met in New Orleans summed it up as “po' folk votin' rich” - but is has been soooo depressing to live in a country that elevates greed as the ultimate moral good and highest art form.
Little Big O, Thanks for stoppy by! I think we're on very similar, if not the same, pages. I completely agree with your profile page perspective on culture as our most serious limitation. In a large sense, what I see as the greatest potential for change is not the “leader” themselves, but the people they bring into the cultural power structure to do the real work of bringing sanity and opportunities for individual self-actualization.
Obama is a human being, but this is not about who he is - as much as it is about who he can help us become. I agree that leadership is about opening one's heart and using the wisdom that is available to each and every one of us. It is not about power and control. Abraham Lincoln was a lobbyist in Springfield, Illinois. Gandhi was an English-trained barrister. Obama is riding the wave of the aspirations of idealists and young people in this country - and that wave is powerful - and I'm willing to suspend my skepticism and disbelief to give us all a chance for change.
Little Big O, thanks for sharing your inspiration and your vision.
Peace,
Earon
It seems unlikely the Big O will be able to pull it out, Earon. California is Clinton country, unfortunately, which means she'll likely get the zillion or so delegates from this state at 7 PM tonight. I'm crossing my fingers she doesn't; if she wins the nomination, McCain will continue the fascist rule that has destroyed this country.
Like I said, I'm no fan of Obama's: he's got some 'splainin' to do with respect to many of his policies and stands. But I admire his gusto and I admire his ability to inflame a generation that just months ago the punditocracy happily wrote off as “indifferent.” They aren't. And that excites me as much as anything.
Off to the polling booth; and may God bless what's left, if anything, of this country.

I must say,I like what he stands for ,he won states he is suppose to lose and came close in states in which he was suppose to have no chance ,very exciting moment in the history ,it's time for change.
Yes, we can change,
