I love Barack Obama. He inspires a nation. He's our generation's JFK. Our LBJ. Our HSBC. Because we can bank on him doing the right thing for this country. And he'll even give you interest, because he's interested in what the young people today are thinking. His words strike such a chord with my fellow young Americans -- Americans 2.0, if you will.

"Yes we can!"

"Change!"

Wow! Yes we can change! Change we can, yes! Yes we can change! We can make change! Give us a dollar, we'll give you four quarters, ten dimes, a bunch of nickels and pennies, you name it. It's so inspiring!

Even if you switch it up, it still works. "Change!" "Yes we can!" Change for cans! Give us some cans, we'll give you change! A nickel, actually! Because that's what Obama is all about. Recycling, and giving people who are down on their luck a little money. It makes me proud to be an American. And hey, Hillary -- no deposit, no return!

"We are the ones we've been waiting for." Just thinking about it gives me chills. We ARE the ones! We! Ones! Waiting! For! The wee ones are waiting! But only until 4! Because the children, the young adults of tomorrow, are on the move! Wee ones are too active to just wait around. They're not going to wait around until 5 or 6. They certainly won't wait till 7 or 8, because that's their bedtime. The wee ones have lots of important things to do! Like recycle cans! And play on the swings!

And then, there's the big one. The one on all the Obama signs. "Change We Can Believe In." Yes! Believing in change! I believe in change! In fact I believe there's some change in my couch, underneath the cushions. And that's what Obama is about. Finding the change where you normally don't think to look. And then you can go get a can of soda that someone will recycle, and get a nickel for doing it in the bargain. And that's how the economy is going to work in an Obama administration.

A lot of people say it's impossible for one person to make a change. But one day, when his face is on the dollar bill (I've never thought it fair that George Washington should get the dollar and the quarter), all Americans will be able to make change for President Obama. And that's what this campaign is about. Isn't it?
