Change has come! Change has come! Hope!

Obama is actually the second coming.

We've seen his like before:

IT was early 1994 when Nelson Mandela gave a speech in a slum outside Cape Town and spoke in grand terms of a new beginning and how when he was elected president every household would have a washing machine.

People took him literally. A few months later he became South Africa's first black president. That's when clerks in department stores in Cape Town had to turn people away demanding their free washer and dryer.
Having spent some time as a reporter in South Africa watching the Mandela presidency I was reminded of that story this week when I travelled with Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on the campaign trail.

How does a cult figure, in the eyes of some something akin to a messiah, make the transition to a political frontrunner - president even - where disappointment will soon crush what seemed to be a journey to a promised land?

How indeed

For more, read here. Its written in Feb 2008, when Obama was still on the campaign trial against Hillary

Here's a hint! All presidents should be elected based on merit, not skin color. The only black presidents that are successful are in movies and on TV. If there is a minority president, or even women president, they have to prove themselves to be more competent, more capable, more dynamic etc.

Higher standard, not affirmative action standard!

Official Obama Song - Michael Franti and Spearhead

Ok. No comments from be because its an empty song as in no content. Catchy though

Will I Am's "Yes We Can" Song

"...We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope

But in the unlikely story that is America

There has never been anything false about hope..."

Er, yes. BUT you are still warned against offering the people of the nation false hope!

Mmm Mmm Mmm, Barack Hussein Obama

Song 1:
Mm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said that all must lend a hand
To make this country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said we must be fair today
Equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

Actually, it seems that Obama is preaching "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need"

He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said red, yellow, black or white
All are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

I've heard this before. Oh yes

"Red and yellow, black and white, all are precious in his sight, Jesus loves the children of the world"

I guess we know who he is trying to replace now

Yes!
Mmm, mmm, mm
Barack Hussein Obama

Song 2:

Hey this is the Battle Song of the Republic!

Hello, Mr. President we honor you today!
For all your great accomplishments, we all doth say "hooray!"

I guess great accomplishments meaning getting elected to President. No other accomplishments of note so far

Hooray, Mr. President! You're number one!
The first black American to lead this great nation!

Yes, following the great traditions of many so black leaders worldwide. But no one can name ANY though. Movie presidents don't count

Hooray, Mr. President we honor your great plans
To make this country's economy number one again!

Yes, when in debt, spend! Everyone should follow this advice

Hooray Mr. President, we're really proud of you!
And we stand for all Americans under the great Red, White, and Blue!

So continue ---- Mr. President we know you'll do the trick
So here's a hearty hip-hooray ----

Yes, you'll do the trick. Many more tricks coming too.

Hip, hip hooray!
Hip, hip hooray!
Hip, hip hooray!

FYI, here are the lyrics to the Battle Hymn of the Republic:

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:

He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;

He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:

His truth is marching on.

(Chorus)

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

His truth is marching on.

I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,

They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;

I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:

His day is marching on.

(Chorus)

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel

"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;

Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,

Since God is marching on."

(Chorus)

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;

He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:

Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!

Our God is marching on.

(Chorus)

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,

With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:

As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,

While God is marching on.

(Chorus)

He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,

He is Wisdom to the mighty, He is Succour to the brave,

So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of Time His slave,

Our God is marching on.

Hmmmm, "Jesus Loves the Little Children", and the "Battle Hymn of the Republic"! He is an anti-Christ isn't he? He's replacing Jesus in Christian songs

American Prayer

This is the time to finish what you started.

This is no time to dream.
This is the room. We can turn off the dark tonight.
Maybe then we might see.
This is my American Prayer
American Prayer.
This is the land.
The land that keeps your feet from getting wet.
And this is the sky over our head.
Remember that what you see depends on where you stand.
And how you jump will tell you where you're gonna land.
This is my American Prayer.
American Prayer.

Chorus:
My oh my, let's not get tired.
Let's not kick at the darkness.
Let's make the light brighter.
These are the hands
What are we going to build with them?
This is a church you can't see.
Give me your tired and poor and huddled masses.
You know they're yearning to breathe free.

What kind of prayer is that? To who? Obama?

I Pledge

Seriously, "I pledge service to Obama"? Shouldn't it be to the nation?

Alpha Omega

Because of Obama I aspire to be the next "..."

Yes we can!

Because I am sure we couldn't before Obama came along

Sing For Change
