Barak Obama

So, I've been reading a lot about Barak Obama on the LJ recently and was naturally curious about him. He was in the democratic convention and I saw it on the CNN but I changed the channel, now I regret it because of this speech by Barak Obama:

Well, I say to them tonight, there's not a liberal America and a conservative America – there's the United States of America.

There's not a Black America and White America and Latino America and Asian America– there's the United States of America.

The pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red States and Blue States; Red States for Republicans, Blue States for Democrats.

But I've got news for them, too.

We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States.

We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States.

There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and patriots who supported it.

We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America.

I so very see the appeal of Barak Obama. My God, if only the Philippines had speakers like Barak...
