The most important political speech of our time

regardless of political stances, left or right, liberal or conservative, bigfoot or lochness monster...this is such an important message. and to hear it coming from the frontrunner for the white house is even more shocking. never have a i heard a politician speak so openly and honestly about one of the key issues of our time. no longer can we ignore this issue.

i pray for the good of the world that Barack Obama becomes president of the United States of America. i wasn't sold on him until i heard this speech. but now, i believe this is the only politician that can make a real difference. sure, hillary clinton could go and do some good things for health care. sure john mccain might make us feel the most secure as we sleep in our beds at night. neither of them would be bad presidents. my dog, hudson, would be a better president than george bush. but barack obama is a new breed that longs for change, that longs for the world to be a better place. and it isn't just rhetoric. he doesn't just toe the party line. take the time to listen to this speech. maybe you will think i am over exaggerating. i don't think so. it has made a deep impact on me.

    i understand your cynicism about politicians like bush because i share it. to get to that point in politics, you have to have serious cash. to get serious cash, you have to owe so many people on so many levels it's not even funny. when you owe so many people on so many levels, your motives are rarely pure, if ever. so you have got to be incredibly naive to think that obama or mccain or jack layton or elizabeth may are any different from bush in that way. politics is one big game, my friend, and it's time christians on both sides stopped pretending this game has a significant place in the kingdom of God at all. Jesus seemed to spend his energy elsewhere. just my 2 cents.

    rock on!
