The Greatest Thing To Me About Obama Is Not The Individual, It Does Not Have To Do With Obama Himself - It's Really About The People Who Have Elected Obama. It Demonstrates That People Are Ready For Change, And I Think Obama Knows That, Because He Really Came Up From The People, The Young Generation Especially. He Motivated A Lot Of African Americans Who Never Voted Before To Go And Vote.
