WE ARE THE ONES WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!

What makes this man beautiful is that he is the embodiment of the American Dream. Let us not forget what that means:

Please watch the music videos below. They are each so beautiful and so powerful.

They show Americans--ALL Americans--calling for a new era of America:

A new way of thinking about American culture

A new way of thinking about American politics

A new way of thinking about each other

But really, not so new, because America has always been diverse. It has always been a mix of cultures and peoples and ways of thinking--since before it was even a nation. What is different about this election, and what its seems that people really mean by CHANGE, is that we will finally come to accept ourselves as a nation for who we are:

an incredibly diverse, beautiful group of hard-working human beings sharing a space on this planet together.

Divisions between people only exist if we let them, and this election is calling for a NEW, TOLERANT, and PEACEFUL era of American and of World history.

These videos are all calling for:

• Obama to be President of the United States of America
  
• CHANGE/REBIRTH of how we think
  
• For the War in Iraq (and war in general) to end.
  

Also, please click on the following link to see a BRILLIANT photography project done by photographer Maarten de Boer. The name of the project is: I am Obama, which is a series of photographs of Obama supporters in LA. De Boer did not hand choose these people--they are random people that heard about the project, came to his studio, and volunteered to have a photograph taken of them in support of Obama (including your very own Editor of Obama IS America!). The purpose of this project was to show the DIVERSITY OF PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT. And it must be said that the people of Los Angeles and the supporters of Obama are ridiculously good-looking :)

治身平天下 - Improve Self for Peace Under the Sky

治身平天下

“I’m starting with the man in the mirror. I’m asking him to make a change. And no question could been any clearer, if you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change” Michael Jackson.

Confucius said it, Ghandi said it, Jebus said it, and so did Michael. Confucius said, 治身平天下 - improve self for peace under the sky. In part of a longer essay, he writes that everyone should improve themselves, if one can succeed in being a good person, they can work to improve their family’s condition. If successful, one works outward to include their community, then their country, eventually creating a peaceful world. But anyone out there who says that they have gotten past family or even self has their head up their ass. Look at America, riddled with problems, kids can’t read, bums everywhere, failing social security and healthcare systems… yet we deem ourselves worthy to police the world and protect other nations from themselves. On smaller levels, we all are guilty of this; it is easier to face another’s demons then your own. But if everyone just tried to be the best person they could be, while I don’t necessarily agree there could ever exist world peace, the world would surely be a better place.

So look inward, assess yourself fairly, what are you guilty of? Take responsibility for your actions and create positive change in your life. Obama has become a popular embodiment of for change and hope for a better future, but it is important to remember that each individual has just as much responsibility to be a force of positive change as Obama or McCain. If you truly believe in a better future, then be that better future.
