When Oprah addressed the crowd of over 8,000 people in Manchester, NH last weekend, she said, "Experience in the hallways of government isn't as important to me as experience on the pathway of life….I challenge you to see through those people who try and convince you that experience with politics as usual is more valuable than wisdom won from years of serving people outside the walls of Washington, D.C."
She then added, "We recognize that the amount of time that you've spent in Washington means nothing unless you're accountable for the judgments you made with the time you had. We need good judgment. We need Barack Obama."
We've already had Clintons in the White House, and we haven't seen any significant changes in the way government works. Closed door meetings, partisan bickering, deals with powerful lobbyists, and stalemates are not what our country needs right now. We need someone who can bring people together and restore our sense of common purpose. We need someone who is willing and able to work with all kinds of people, Democrats and Republicans, Conservatives and Liberals, men and women, black and white. We need a President who appreciates and values our country's diversity.
We need Barack Obama.
