I think we all have to agree now that Obama supporters are way better at the music than anyone has ever been in a political campaign.
This song is amazing. Just watch it and see.
PS. The embedded image near the end is Dr. King the night before he died; that clip gets me every time.
In modern history, with the exception of the 2000 election, I believe the U.S. always gets the president it deserves. If Obama does not win it will mean more people are afraid of change then anything else. When I say "change" I mean, a leader of a different color, different background and with a different (less adversarial) approach to foreign policy.
I want him to be the next president because I have studied the issues - at length - and I feel he is the best choice for the country and the world.
If he does not win.....I think we would regress to an earlier time. The question is really about choosing the certainty of what we know from the past versus the possibility of what might be in the future.
Long answer to your short question TadMack. I hope he wins, and to your specific quote, I hope the country does not explode.
PS. The song was co-written by Bono. I'm not surprised.

What happens to a dream deferred?
Col, what happens if this guy doesn't win?
