Bringing Back Inspiration and Hope

I don't know about you, but I am tired of all these negative campaign ads. As I watched Barack Obama make his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention I was filled with such inspiration and hope. Never had I been so uplifted by a politician before. I was happy to see that for once it was about focusing on the positive and what this candidate would do to make things better. But now the pendulum has swung back the other way and both sides are on the attack. The first attack ads I saw were from McCain. In fact, I have never seen a positive video from McCain saying why he's the best man for the job and what he will do to make things better. All I have seen are smear ads that stretch the truth to the max. Of course I understand that Obama has to fight back and stand up for himself. Now every time I turn on the television all I see is doom and gloom- the stock market is falling, our economy is on the verge of collapse, and then all those negative campaign ads on top of it all. Yes, things are bad, but I want to be uplifted. I want to feel inspired. I want to feel hope. So in light of this I'm adding a video I found on Obama's website. One that I hope will inspire you to a more positive place.
