Obama Specifics: The Blueprint for Change

Here’s a little something for all the people saying Barack Obama never talks about specifics…

Not Sure If You Do, But I Like This…A Lot

“There is something happening in America…

There is something happening when men and women in Des Moines and Davenport, in Lebanon and Concord, come out in the snows of January to wait in lines that stretch block after block because they believe in what this country can be.

There is something happening. There’s something happening when Americans who are young in age and in spirit, who’ve never participated in politics before, turn out in numbers we have never seen because they know in their hearts that this time must be different.

There’s something happening when people vote not just for party that they belong to, but the hopes that they hold in common.

And whether we are rich or poor, black or white, Latino or Asian, whether we hail from Iowa or New Hampshire, Nevada or South Carolina, we are ready to take this country in a fundamentally new direction.

That’s what’s happening in America right now; change is what’s happening in America

“We know the battle ahead will be long. But always remember that, no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change. We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics. And they will only grow louder and more dissonant in the weeks and months to come.

We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check. We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America…

There has never been anything false about hope.

“We are not as divided as our politics suggest…we are one people, we are one nation.”

~Barack Obama

New for the ‘08

I know, I know…it has been quite some time since my last entry.

OK, so it’s been a really long time since my last entry. But since it is now 2008, a new year, I plan on getting back into the blogging game.

You missed me didn’t you?

No? Oh well.

My resolution (for this blog, anyway) is to have at least one entry a day, if not several. But one thing that will be different is that I plan on keeping the entries relatively short.

I have been known to go on tirades and rants quite often when I write…and I’m not saying I won’t do that, but what I am saying is that I want to rethink how I write on here.

It takes too much time and too much effort to write 500+ words every time I sit down.

Shorter entries = less time (per entry).

Less time (per entry) = more entries.

More entries = more feedback (hopefully).

Get it? Good.

That being said, happy 2008! Check back often, friends.
