What do Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama have in common? Big ears.
Why should Barack Obama be elected President in 2008? It's the ears. I mean, it's not literally his ears. It's the idea of his ears. Just like Lincoln, Kennedy, and Reagan, Barack Obama has the capacity to listen. And America needs nothing more now than a President who knows how to listen.
Obama gained national fame after his 2004 Democratic National Convention speech, but he'll be remembered by Democrats and Republicans, progressives and conservatives, as a President who listened.
I recognize there is a certain presumptuousness - a certain audacity - to this video blog. But if you want to know more about Barack Obama's campaign, if you want America to turn the page on the tired politics of the last generation, if you're interested in more substance than Obama Girl Amber Lee Ettinger's "I Got a Crush ... on Obama," "Vote Different ("Hillary 1984"), or "Hillary Clinton Sings National Anthem," you should watch this video!
Hope! Believe!
Barack Obama for President in 2008!
