1. It means look in a mirror

Don't just sit there and wait for someone to come along and affect change FOR you. We're the ones who can make that change for the better for our country.

2. It was my favorite line...

what it means for me is that WE must make the change. No more sitting on our bums and complaining. Get active to save our country. As an African American, it reminded me of how civils rights activists must have felt, prior to and during the 1960s, as they put their lives in danger, to change jim crow. My wife and I both enjoyed the whole speech, but that line really moved us.

It's a new morning in America.

6. That was excellent. It stands in stark contrast to HRC's reflexive use of "I" vice "WE"

With The Clintons in the WH, it is ALL ABOUT THEM. :nuke:

Just say "NO!" to political royalty. ;) :hi:

8. i dont know who said but its very similar to a sentiment expressed by gandhi

be the change you want to see in the world.

i assume it means the voice of the people can make change.

bush has been ignoring the voice of the people.

9. Seems obvious to me...

10. It means don't put your hopes in a Leader Figure

It means stop fetishizing leadership and start doing.

It's a welcome change of pace after so many years of leader fetish, from "Big Dog" to "43."
