If you're backing Barack, don't get cocky. Get out and vote, it's never a sure thing and your vote does matter.

If you're a McCain man ... I'm sure he'll win. Don't worry about it, grab a beer, sit down, I'm sure the traffic will be crazy and you deserve a chance to rest. Don't worry about it, it's not like one vote will make a difference.

^Oh, I'm sure he'll let us down. I just hope it won't be monstrous. There's no question he's a better pick than McCain, but I think a lot of people are expecting him to walk on water or something. Once we slip comfortably into 2009, I bet we'll all experience less "change" than we were hoping for.

In the closing moments of this video, Obama said:


I'm reminded every single day, that I'm not a perfect man. I will not be a perfect president. But I can promise you this: I will always tell you what I think, and where I stand. I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you when we disagree. And most importantly, I will open the doors of government and ask you to be involved in your own democracy again.

There's a reason why he ended on that note -- it's the biggest reason why I feel so strongly about Obama.

He knows that the real, lasting damage that Bush left was a loss of faith in the pillars of our government. Our rights have been trampled, our courts have been made biased, our reputation tarnished, and our sense of liberty either perverted or erased entirely.

In short, people no longer believe in this country.

I think Obama is uniquely suited to heal that wound. Someone who can restore people's trust in the institutions that make us who we are as a nation.

Will he be able to solve all the issues created by or ignored by Bush? No, we'll be cleaning up after him for many Presidents to come. But he will bring us back together to work on fixing them, and who knows, we might even be able to fix things faster than we thought.

This video was absolutely perfect for showcasing all of that, and many, many people saw it.

The election isn't over yet, but it should've been a long, long time ago.
