Favorite Obama quotes......here's mine.
If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists - to protect them and to promote their common welfare - all else is lost.

Senator Barack Obama

----------------------------------------
I have no abiding belief that McSame or Palin will live this quote for me...or for you, my fellow Americans.

1. Here's mine.....

"In the end, that's what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism, or do we participate in a politics of hope?

Hope in the face of difficulty, hope in the face of uncertainty, the audacity of hope: In the end, that is God's greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation, a belief in things not seen, a belief that there are better days ahead."

3. What has made Obama great is that he began with a state of the union speech as a
a sure and certain destination.

2. We are the ones we've been waiting for ... says everything about real democracy
Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
Barack Obama

5. Love this one...
And all the faceless, nameless men and women, slaves and soldiers and tailors and butchers, constructing lives for themselves and their children and grandchildren, brick by brick, rail by rail, calloused hand by calloused hand, to fill in the landscape of our collective dreams. It is that process I wish to be a part of. My heart is filled with love for this country. ~Barack Obama
