“And that’s what we have to change first.”
-- BARACK OBAMA
Announcement of Candidacy, February 10, 2007
Working hard, overcoming the odds.
Barack Obama knows what it is like to overcome long odds. Obama’s mother, from Kansas, and father, a foreign student from Kenya, divorced when he was just 2 years old. When his mother remarried, he lived in Indonesia for 4 years, and then moved back to his birth place in Hawaii to be raised by his grandparents.
They didn’t have a lot of money, but Obama earned scholarships, took out loans, and graduated from Columbia University. It was the start of an extraordinary life.
Change We Can Believe in!
“There is not a liberal America and a conservative America, there is the United States of America.
“Theere is not a Black America, and a White America, a Latino America, an Asian America, there is the United States of America.
“The pundits like to slice and dice our country into red states and blue states – red states for the Republicans, blue states for Democrats – but I’ve got news for them too.
“We worship an awesome God in the blue states, and we don’t like federal agents poking around in our libraries in the red states.
“We coach little league in the blue states, and yes, we have some gay friends in the red states.
“There are patriots who opposed the War in Iraq and there are patriots who supported the War in Iraq.
“We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the Stars and Stripes, all of us defending the United States of America.”
