1. all those people who brave the rain

also need to brave the long lines to vote also. We need everyone to vote.

2. What "hope" would look like for poor folk is to be included.

To have a hand extended to us.

Being ignored isn't "hope".

5. Good luck.

Hold on because my guess is that those who are truly at the bottom will have so much company in the very near future that things will be very ugly. I think Obama knows that people are suffering but go ahead and give him a kick. Let know how that works for you.

3. "That's what America is all about"

4. Exactly!

As Obama said in that clip:

"Because despite what our opponents may claim, there are no real or fake parts of this country. There is no city or town that is more pro-America than anywhere else – we are one nation, all of us proud, all of us patriots. There are patriots who supported this war in Iraq and patriots who opposed it; patriots who believe in Democratic policies and those who believe in Republican policies. The men and women who serve in our battlefields may be Democrats and Republicans and Independents, but they have fought together and bled together and some died together under the same proud flag. They have not served a Red America or a Blue America – they have served the United States of America."

6. If only Palin believed that!

Though I disagree with Republicans, I've never said they weren't "real Americans" because I didn't believe that was a concept that could be defined so specifically.
