2. "You guys pay my salary, I shouldn't have better health care than you"

I have waited my entire life to hear a politician make this one simple acknowledgment that they do work for us. I don't think I've ever heard one actually say it.

7. One other politician has made that statement...

Dennis Kucinich of course. These two are politicians that understand how the system should work more than we realize and more than they give off.

5. WOW - I'm Fired UP - Thank you so much for posting this - I tried to see it on CNN Live

I knew this would be good but it was great! One can see why Obama is moving the numbers in PA. They were talking on CNN that the white male voters are the key to his winning or at least coming close in PA.

Thanks!!!!

10. Every time I hear him speak...

I think,"Dang, we might actually get a real president this time."

Who was our last president who could even pretend to stand in the shadows of our greatest?

I'm not really sure but Senator Obama could be our next.

We need someone who will stand up. Someone who isn't afraid. Someone who actually views our future with hope and not despair or simply money to be stolen.
