Wow! What an amazing speech from Barack Obama last night!! I was moved to tears at times, when the urgency of his words were being felt and realized by myself and the crowd on television, if not the world. The idea of change and positivity was so powerful. Its really awesome to think of all the good that the democratic party could do the next four years. I feel like Barack Obama would launch an investigation on all of congress or something, ya know? His speechwas so real, HE is so real, so down to earth, and so IN TOUCH with what people are going through.
I feel like McCain tries to look in touch and pretends to get it, which he doesn't, and its even more apparent today by his choice in running mate. His choosing a woman is so obvious, fake, and only a ploy to take away the attention from one of the most powerful speeches of all time. How much more ELECTION STRATEGY are we going to see? How long can he mask his true ideologies from America, scaring the weak into voting for him again. Whoops, haha, freaudian slip; I meant voting for him. Barack Obama is definitely my candidate, and I hope the speech he gave empowered as many people as I think it may have. I hope he keeps on the path he's going, of being real and actually understanding what needs to be done. If he keeps that up, I think McCain will have a hard time keeping the smoke and mirrors thick enough for people. Obama is so much more progressive than McCain; he is thinking of what the future holds. That's a pretty important concept for government. I mean, they didn't really take the future seriously in the past, and now look at the REAL energy crisis that is upon us. We need someone young, willing to take risks, and forward thinking. Someone who isn't just going to "get by" doing a C job, skating by leading a country while he enjoys the perks of the job and continues to fill his and his friends pockets.
It makes me feel really good to be this fired up, it feels like how the French feel when they are about to have another revolution. It feels like its really important, and that its important to say something about it. I feel like I need to spread the word about Obama, and reveal the shroud of control the republicans have left us under.
Its important to know how loaded all John McCain's language, advertising, and campaigns are. Its important to know that they have done their research about you and how you react to the meaning they instill in their imagery and words. Its important as a person in the creative class to make art with its OWN meaning about how we feel things are going down. The reality of how things are are in our hands, and our hands are more powerful than theirs. We can influence our friends and our communities and show the true message of whats important.
And what is important?
