-Lyrics-

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.

Yes we can.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.

Yes we can.

It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.

Yes we can.

It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.

Yes we can to justice and equality.

Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.

Yes we can heal this nation.

Yes we can repair this world.

Yes we can.

We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.

Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea --

Yes. We. Can.

I don't care about what the GOOD countries hailed him as. The EVIL countries hailed him as a weakling. Thats what got us into trouble. He didnt follow the mantra "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" . Reagan kept Gorbachev very close.

Unfortunately, Clinton didnt give Bush enough time

4 months of warnings isn't enough time to ask your brother whose governor of the state where they were training to get detectives to detain them for interrogation? you don't know about momentum, and you don't know about politics.

Yes, given enough time we could have stopped Hitler. M1V1 = M2V2. M=Mass, V=Velocity. V = S/T (distance divided by time). Given sufficient time, any mass can be stopped

this isn't physics this is politics, you conservatives have no brains. no wonder 98% of people whose iq's are over 150 are liberal.

9/11 happened because the DEM'S ignored the terrorist threats and the international scene. That caused the whole chain reaction.

you obviously DO NOT know clintons international policy. he was hailed across the world because of his policy. you're obviously an old elephant conservative who knows nothing about caring for all americans not just yourself. conservatives are naturally individualistic and liberals are for the good of the nation.
iAmMovieMaker (September 4, 2008 at 11:42 am)
9/11 happened because of bush's ignorance, iraq because of the same, defense spending because of iraq (ignorance), national debt because of the spending. and if your principle of momentum is right than how could we have stopped hitler and the holocaust? your BLIND!

And now Palin will bring down Putin and save us all.

why don't we be diplomatic with other nations, oh yeah that's right because conservatives are nazis that refuse to see another persons perspectives. we need a diplomatic president not a fucking cowboy. apes fight, humans talk last i checked we weren't apes for 6.5 million years.
