We are US
When Barack Obama addresses, "the American people", his voice is for all; rich, poor and everyone in between. He speaks for Americans of every background, religion, race, lifestyle, gender, age, creed and circumstance. When John McCain says, 'my friends", he refers only to those with the ability and tolerability to compete in a dog eat dog society, where force, trickery, money and power win. He speaks to a US, where might makes right and it is safe for every citizen to bear arms. He addresses an US where heterosexual, two parent families, are sacred and never rape, abuse or neglect their children. He speaks to a US where all good and worthy Americans, trust in a Christian or Jewish god. He sees only what he wants to see. He does not see clearly. He does not see US. John McCain is delusional, naive and uninformed.
Why else, does he promote war and give blanket support to the second amendment? Why else, does he resist allocating sufficient financial, social and health care resources to the poor, the elderly, the sick, the disabled and the unemployed so, that they, too may enjoy their constitutionally guaranteed rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Why else, does John McCain, support the big business health of health care at the expense of quality and affordable health care for all? Why else, does John McCain want to spend our money to kill abroad and let die at home?
Why else, would Jonh McCain give tax breaks to the wealthy, and leave corporations unrestrained and unaccountable to their employees and to their consumers? Why else, does he promise jobs that no longer exist? Jobs already outsourced, spent by corporate greed! Jobs exchanged for cheap, foreign, sweat labor, both here and abroad! Jobs sold for shoddy, poisoned goods, as consumer prices rise and our economy fails! Why else, does it take the downfall of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to gain John McCain's support for federal help, when multiple thousands of families have already lost their homes? If John McCain does not lose our country in a bloody, hate-filled war, surely he will sell or gamble it away!
Why else, does John McCain choose to annoint children of gay and lesbian parents, bastards by policy, by denying same sex parents equal rights, status and freedom to love openly, live freely and marry legally? Why else, does he deny teaching children age appropriate, protective and preventative, sex education at school? John McCain is right about one thing! Child sexual abuse is a family matter. It does most often happen at home! Why else, does John McCain want to force women to have children they are not prepared to parent? Why else, does he then, abandon those children and their parents? Why else, does he not see children, once born, consciously suffer and not infrequently die, at the hands, of troubled parents and caretakers? Why else, does he fail to see those children later, as parents, just like mom and dad; in another violent home, in prisons, jails, and mental facilities, or living on the streets? Why else, does John McCain choose to blame them, put them away or kill them by the hand and tools of government, then?
Barack Obama is not just a black man or a white man. He is a black man and he is a white man. He grew up in a non-traditional home with a mother and grandparents. He is Harvard Man, an attorney, a senator, an advocate, a community organizer, a husband, a father, a son. He has been many things, to many people, in many places. He knows what it is to belong and he knows what it is not to belong. He knows US. He will speak for all of US, by name. He will challenge John McCain's, Republican delusions, bigotry, haughtiness, self-RIGHTOUSNESS and indifference.
America is not John McCain’s Smelting Pot, where only conformity and sameness are right. America is a Melting Pot; a vibrant, hearty brew of human richness and diversity. The American Dream is not to be found in reckless pursuit of fame and fortune. The American Dream is not bought with money, nor is it won with power, influence, manipulation and force. Rather, the American Dream exists, inherently, in our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is the birthright, bequeathed to us by our fore founders, set forth indelibly, in our constitution. It proclaims to us, promise of equality, opportunity, freedom and justice for all. It elevates individual rights and embraces human worth, granting us freedom to be different, to determine our own lives, to pursue our own ambitions, to name our own families, to love from our own hearts and to believe in our own God or to choose not to believe at all. America is not free until we all are.
Barack Obama believes in US. Now, let it be known, to all, that we beleive in him.
