Everywhere I go in America, people are dreaming about President Barack Obama. At Birmingham airport in Alabama, I see a smartly dressed middle aged African-American woman so immersed in a glossy book about Obama that she doesn't pick up her phone which rings insistently. On a plane from Baltimore to Columbus Ohio, there are four big guys -- two white, two black -- all in "Yes We Can" t-shirts.
On a gloriously warm late October morning in Madison, Wisconsin, all I can hear are fragments of conversations about the latest poll numbers in Virginia and Florida. There is iconography of Obama everywhere. On a train from New York City to Washington DC, I sit next to a woman who tells me that Powell will be Secretary of State. America is teetering on the verge of history. We are all holding our breath. Everywhere the questions are the same. Who are you voting for? Can He lose? An eight year nightmare finally over.... can you believe it?
And then in cab coming from New York's La Guardia into Manhattan, a Pakistani driver is fast forwarding to next Wednesday morning, when we come into work after the deed is done and the history is finally made. The cab driver, a handsome, unshaven man with two young daughters who he is bringing up to treat all creeds equally, is thinking about President Barack Obama.
We are stuck in the Midtown Tunnel. The traffic is terrible. "What is going to change when Obama is elected?" I ask him.
"Everything."
I press him. "But what exactly will change?"
"The traffic," he says, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. "There won't be so much traffic."
He is silent for a few moments, perhaps to think more deeply about Barack Obama's impact on the New York City traffic. "He can make some difference," the Pakistani cab driver says, turning around and smiling gently at me. "You know, he could. He really could."

I see you all have not lost your fight :
GOOD! Because we have a lot to do. You! (the American people) are going to have to take back control of your elected government at every level, and set your government back on the right path of service to you, and the greater good of the World.
Barack Obama and the democrats are your best hope of doing that now. Tell your family, friends, and everyone you know to support them as best they can. Because the Bush McCain vote fraud, vote cheating, vote buying, vote manipulation machine is already hard at work to cheat you again. And we all know what a disaster that has been the past 8 years of Bush McCain.
Barack Obama and the democrats will need all the power you can give them at every level of government (Federal, State, County, and local City elected governments). Obama and the democrats will have an enormous mess to fix for the American people, and the rest of the World. A mess caused by the corrupt Bush McCain administration.
You see, starting back in 2000, and before 911, it was mostly the Republican governors, Republican legislatures, and county elected Republican officials that conspired with the corrupt Bush McCain administration to raise college, and university tuitions by the fastest, and highest rate increases in American history. Some state tuitions went up by as much as a WHOPPING! 30% in one year.
The reason the Bush McCain administration did this was to force struggling working class kids into the military to pay for the sudden jump in tuition. Which was forced on them by the corrupt Bush McCain administration, and their corrupt Republican Governors, and republican controlled state legislatures.
See, Bush McCain had plans to get us into all these immoral, foolish, criminal, and unnecessary wars from the start. So they could use these wars to seize power, and later to get reelected. But, for their evil plan to work they needed more volunteer soldiers struggling to pay for an education whose blood they could spill to help them seize more power. Remember Bush McCain's "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!" theatrics.
The exploitation, and lost lives of these finest Americans is despicable, disgusting, immoral, corrupt and criminal. And it makes me SICK, and ANGRY!
You will have to vote for Obama, and the democrats in overwhelming numbers to overcome the Bush McCain vote fraud machine. Vote early if you can. Then help your fellow Americans cast their votes now, and on through election day. Vote for Obama, and the democrats like your life, and the lives of your loved ones depends on it. Because it does. You will not survive 4 more years of "Let Them Eat Cake" Bush McCain, and their republican allies.
Just look at the mess we have now.
You can fix this mess with your votes for Obama, and the democrats. And REMEMBER, no matter which of us may stumble or fall, the rest of you must continue to surge forward for Barack Obama, and the democrats, and for your-selves most of all. The children, and the World are counting on us.
It's in your hands now. And I know you will get it done.
God bless all of you.
JACK SMITH - WORKING CLASS... :-)
