"Yes we can" is the new "We shall overcome"

I can't believe it but Barack Obama has made me cry with his "Yes We Can" speech. I wish I were recording this.

"Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity."
"Yes we can heal this nation."
"Yes we can change this world."

"We will remember there is something happening in America."
"That we are not as divided as we think."
"That we are one people."

I'm in love.

This is not a concession speech.

This is a battle cry.

Shakespeare and King would have been proud.

Words to live by "I believe in a wall between church and state so high that no one can climb over it. "When religion controls government, political liberty dies; and when government controls religion, religious liberty perishes. "Every American has the constitutional right not to be taxed or have his tax money expended for the establishment of religion. "For too long the issue of government aid to church related organizations has been a divisive force in our society and in the Congress. It has erected communication barriers among our religions and fostered intolerance." — -- Sam Ervin, Quotations from Chairman Sam: The Wit and Wisdom of Senator Sam Ervin (1973) Subscribe Buttons
