Yes, We Can!K&R

[Cant trust em]

5. Finally, a DUer who will get my Dave Chappelle references!

I assume that's where you get your username.

Seriously though. Great video.

6. Awesome!

Great group of students and wonderful teacher! I miss teaching. Can't wait to go back to it when my twins go to kindergarten in another year.

7. This really moved me.

Hope spreads, and changes people's way of thinking. The story of running to catch the bus.. 'yes I can' -- a simple example, but I have seen this already happening to many people. A simple shift in thinking.

The idea, the feeling of hope gets under people's skin easily, because it's fundamental to who we are.

Imagine kids over the next 8 years: turning on the tv, hearing a president talking about hope and possibilities, talking about being the best we can be, and more.

Change this country? Yes we can!

12. If..

.. thats what empty words does, I'll take a truckload, please.

14. unbelievable!

you can see just how hungry for love and affirmation kids are;
when they get it, they overflow with love and possibility

and you can see why a good leader makes a difference for so many
I hope that we will give obama the chance to be someone
great for this country

it's clear he has inspired this class and their teacher to rise

15. My tears can't stop. The lesson that Barack is able to inspire is unique

compared to the other candidates. We can't let it get away from us....he must be President. I don't want to kids to become cynics, which is why I'll do my damnest to help Obama win.

[The Wielding Truth]

16. "It's a wonderful thing,guys."This is hope. Barack has sewn hope.

17. the youth is becoming self-aware... repubs, run and hide. n/t

[goletian]

18. contrast this vid with hillary mocking obamas message of hope. she should watch this vid.

i bet she would feel a wee bit silly.

[Mithreal]

19. These kids and their teacher are America's real potential for hope

We as a nation can still be inspired.

If Bush's nightmares shake our people and make way for leaders like Obama then maybe these eight years will not have been a total disaster.

While fixing unfair trade policies and extortion rate college costs, we need to focus on inner cities or we are going to continue to see children who couldn't come close to their potential. The kids in this video sure deserve our best, but every child and adult does as well.

We must invest our taxes in EVERY PERSON or we as Americans forfeit our nation's potential.

Let's get Obama elected, then let's kick George's, Dick's, and all their fellow criminal conspirators' asses out of this country or at least let them know they are no longer welcome.

[calimary]

20. HIGHLY recommended!

I watched this video and got seriously choked up. Convinces me more than ever that Barack needs to win.

[mzmolly]

21. Wonderful.

[blayne]

22. That is what real change is all about.
