THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYTHING FALSE ABOUT HOPE ~ ~ THE SONG ~ YES, WE CAN ~~ WE HAVE A MOVEMENT ~ THEY HAVE A MACHINE
Clinton Machine Out Transcended by Obama Movement
I CRIED WHEN I SAW THIS VIDEO all over Youtube today. This afternoon, I started by reading an email from Jeffrey M. Padwa, Rhode Island Finance Co-Chair Obama for America, who sent me a link to the song's video. Then I sent the link to my list of Darfur activists. Then I checked Youtube for an embed of the song and WOW... it is there over and over.
This is a movement America. Please, don't wake up too late.
I am so humbled that I was there the night the speech where YES WE CAN began OUR BATTLE CRY FOR HOPE ~ that was given in New Hampshire. The night Hillary won 2% more of the vote than my choice, Barack Obama. Yes, Barack received an equal amount of delegates that night, but we were disappointed a bit. But Hillary's organization had been spitting out crap that was beneath the dignity of someone who has integrity. And Hillary Clinton's camp was being intentionally untruthful about Barack Obama. And she knew it. And Hillary shed a tear and the pundits went bezerk over it. And networks saturated the TV screens of the video of the tearful Hillary work it.
A truth is that the woman who asked the question that preceded the Hillary tearful eyes voted for Barack Obama. The same woman that Hillary claimed helped her "find my voice". The same woman that Hillary said she connected to.
I was there the night Barack and Michelle Obama came out from behind the Blue curtian in the Nashua High School on January 8. Right there in that corner of the gym. The press were taking pictures for the couple of hours preceding Barack and Michelle coming out. I kept running back and forth from my front row seat and the view of the large TV screen that kept giving us updates as to the results, talking to supporters and the security for Barack.
When Barack got to the part of the speech where I heard him start the cadences of "Yes, We Can" for the first two times, I said outloud "Here, we go" to myself and the person standing beside me. I knew we were going to hear a roll of "Yes, We Cans". Who knew the speech that was first given a night, that WE didn't come out on the very top, would be the night that inspired this song?
I believe we will transcend all the n'ersayers, who are wont to say the Clinton "machine" will win.
We have a movement. The Clintons have a machine.
Where do you want to derive your hope from ~ this movement or the machine.?
Yes, We Can! - Si, Se Puede!
