"Damn You Barack Obama You Pretty Mothafucka"
“Senator Barack, you piss me off, because you have me daring to believe in you... So, Damn you Barack, for turning this cynic into a believer in the ideal of the audacity of Hope.”

Spoken Word Artist Darian Dauchan performing his Obama Poem at the Bowery Poetry Club.

Listen to it at least twice, particularly in light of Obama's historic speech today, the controversy stirred over the last few days, and the obvious fact that we need a leader who can transcend division.

As another DUer put it better than I, "This man is golden... If this country rejects the opportunity for his leadership, we get what we deserve."

You could make a case for other shortcomings, but the guy exudes leadership.

11. Damnit.. another freakin tearjerker. "Damn you Barack, I pray for you at night Dawg.. I worry bout
you." This was awesome, and powerful, and reminiscent of the heartache we all go through when we take the leap of faith, to once again Believe.

Damn you, Obama...

17. Oh my dear god!
It was a GREAT speech. And yes I heard it. Loved it.

But it's not some sort of golden path to Utopia.
