The Following is an Excerpt from Obama's Book "The Audacity of Hope" which I felt particularly Touching...
"We Hold These Truths to be Self Evident, That All Men Arte Created Equal,That they are endowed by their Creator with Certain Inalienable Rights, That Among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness"
"These simply words are our starting point as Americans; they describe not only the foundation of our government but the substance of our common creed. Not every American may be able to recite them; few, if asked, could trace the genesis of The Declaration of Independence to its roots in 18th Century Liberal and Republican thought. But the essential idea behind the Declaration-that we are born into this world free. all of us; that each of us arrives with a bundle of rightsthat can't be taken away by any person or any state without just cause; that through our ownagency we can, and must, make of our lives what we will-is one that every American understands. It orients us, sets our course, each and every day...

BE FORWARNED: This Is NOT For the "Faint Of Heart" !!!
(i didn't write this, I just copied it from the obama hq blog to read on my blog)
Nearly a full year ago, we unrolled a new points system in My.BarackObama with a pretty simple goal: to make it easier for supporters to measure their impact on the campaign. The more you did on My.BarackObama.com, the more points you would accrue. A phone call got you three points. Hosting an event got you 15.From the start, the emphasis was on quantifying an activist’s contribution to the campaign – not on encouraging people to rack up points for the sake of racking up points. For some people, that wasn’t always clear.Today, we’re proud to roll out an updated points system called the Activity Tracker. The basic idea is the same: the Activity Tracker helps Obama supporters measure the work they’re doing on behalf of the campaign. Whereas before, the points system tried to measure lots of different activities down to a “point value,” the new Activity Tracker simply displays up front exactly what activity users have been engaged in.The second major change is how the system formulates a total number to gauge activity. The previous Points system consolidated all activity into a single cumulative metric, but now, the new Activity Index is time sensitive. The more work you’ve done recently, the higher the number will be.Finally, and maybe most importantly, the source of a given user’s points is now visible to everyone in the My.BarackObama community. Before, all a user could see when looking at another person’s dashboard was a total point value. Now, the full extent of the person’s campaign-related activity is available for other activists to see.And that information is not just displayed on individuals’ dashboard pages – it also displays on groups pages. So within a couple clicks, you can check out your favorite My.BarackObama group and immediately know how active the members are.The new Activity Tracker is just the beginning of some important new additions to the site that are coming up in the next few weeks. We’d love to hear your thoughts on how it works and how it can be improved.
** NOTE: The bug incorrectly calculating activity over the past seven days has been corrected

Why Voters Say they Don't Really Know Barack Obama (and Why They Don't Really Know Much about John McCain, Either)Posted August 6, 2008 | 10:19 AM (EST) A New York Times report this week described the frustration and perplexity of the Obama team as to why they are having trouble "getting their message out" in the face of GOP "distractions."
"...But as his opponent "distracts" the media--and hence the public--daily with a relentless drumbeat about what's wrong with Obama--that he isn't strong, that he isn't American, that he isn't patriotic, that he doesn't have the judgment or experience to be president, that he didn't have the balls ... HUH?!
Sound familiar?
The economy is tanking, and McCain's chief economic adviser, Phil Gramm, made one of the most disastrous gaffes a high-ranking campaign official could have made when a nation is facing bank closings, record foreclosures, skyrocketing prices, spiraling unemployment, and an angry electorate: belittling the public for their distress and telling them to stop whining. It would have fit right into a story about a presidential candidate who has as many homes as most people have fingers, and whose first response to the mortgage crisis was to blame the lack of "personal responsibility" of young families buying their first one. It would have fit right into a story of a presidential candidate whose wife complained that the only way to get around Arizona is on a personal jet.

From the Wall Street Journal
The Wal-Mart human-resources managers who run the meetings don't specifically tell attendees how to vote in November's election, but make it clear that voting for Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama would be tantamount to inviting unions in, according to Wal-Mart employees who attended gatherings in Maryland, Missouri and other states.
"The meeting leader said, 'I am not telling you how to vote, but if the Democrats win, this bill will pass and you won't have a vote on whether you want a union,'" said a Wal-Mart customer-service supervisor from Missouri. "I am not a stupid person. They were telling me how to vote," she said

Are we repeating history? In 1952, Dwight Eisenhower ran for President. It was the middle of the Korean War. Did he say talking with our enemies was capitulations? Did he say Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Korea ? Did he “Cut and Run"? Watch the video. Don’t forget what he said about Peace. Scary how we are repeating history. http://livingroomcandidate.org/election/index.php?ad_id=813
Don’t forget to pass this on to your Republican friends.
