When the political season started, I was hoping for a serious showing from John Edwards…alas, it was not meant to be. My second choice (and it was a close second) is Barack Obama, for a variety of reasons. Chief among them is his ability to unite and inspire people, both nationally and around the world, to work for the common cause of uplifting American values, keeping our nation secure, and restoring our international image.

Here’s a great new song from will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas, setting Obama’s inspiring “Yes We Can” speech to music. We don’t need four more years of failed Republican policy. We don’t need four more years of divisive Clinton politics (although Hilary is a strong candidate in her own right). We need change. We need positivity. We need Obama!
