By the way, Salam 3alekom and thank you, Br. Aziz Poonawalla, for posting this video. I was looking for it for hours last night because I don't have a TV. Insha'Allah, I hope Barack will live up to his name--a blessing for the United States. Ma sha Allah that he has made it this far. May all US citizens (including myself) increase our knowledge and our humility. May we all set aside our arrogance, and work together to fix the state of affairs we are in now. Ameen.

Stop Obama! he wants to unity us, give us hope, force us to work for a cause, let us have one love and one heart. Stop him! because he loves American and see us all as one.
Its time us Americans start looking out for each other instead of fighting against each other.

I am a young gay college student, I am about to become a teacher. You'd think i would throw myself at Obama... but your sadly mistaken. I also live in his city of Chicago. I KNOW how he has voted in the past and people it does not look good. And no I'm not voting for McCain because I'm raciest or this or that, cause I'd love to vote for Clinton. But I know how he is and it's not good. He voted again raising the minimum wage!!!! (votesmart.com) He voted against keeping criminal illegal aliens out of america; this mean if a mexican kills a child and wants to become an american citizen and live in the U.S. Obama says YES! How can you lower taxes yet spend more money?!?! What about the %50 of america that does not pay taxes? Make them pay taxes so the government can create jobs. By the way, someone pointed out how he can't do everything himself.... well he can. FDR told the american people to vote for something every week in his fire-side chats, well they did and congress became a rubber stamp for FDR. So with the support Obama has from the media i believe he can do it again just like FDR. PLEASE before you vote blindly because he is popular and the media loves him and he promisses so much, please look at the facts and votesmart.

This man is a natural born leader. I have not been involved in politics in the past. I've always taken the view of "no matter who is in the White House, I am the only one looking out for me.". Im sure i'm not the only one with this view. But seeing how the economy has deteriorated, losing my (rather successful) business over the last two years because of the housing mess, and the ongoing war in Iraq, I've realized it's time to stop being selfish, and we all need to pull together as a country. JUST LOOK AT THE TWO CANDIDATES, and you do not need to be a rocket scientist to see who is more presidential. Even Mccant supporters acknowledge obamas' charisma, and that is part of being a president. "sorry!". Mccant relies on one thing. His military service record. NEWSFLASH.... It takes more than a service record to run the country. Obama brings a new , fresh look to america and truly represents "change" in the right direction.
