I'm just done with the Barrack Obama video everyones been huuhaa about. It was close to 14minutes long. And i must agree, it wasnt any time wasted of my life. He's speeches, always inspiring, always frank yet mostly factual and true. I wasnt surprised to see that there were large number of republicans who were defiant against his speech. I wonder constantly why is that everytime someone speaks the truth, there are more than a bunchful who denies and fears everything? For pete's sake! Wake up people!
I was utterly shell shocked to read that some of the comments made were somewhat accusational of Obama being doctrinatory towards the young, for whom he was speaking to. Some even hinting that his speech was purely out of spreading his socialist idea, whatever the harm that meant. Goodness! Theres this one teacher who even quoted that after his taking over of presidency, the country had, i quote her directly "become so polarized that we believe that our president is an enemy and not our leader."
Seriously, these people need a slap in their face. All because Obama had the guts to speak the truth and reach out to the youth, all these supposed "adults" feel they have to jump out and "protect" their children from hearing it! Geez, what brains is there in that?
Oh well, as for me who bothered to take it the right way, i found the speech utterly encouraging and hopeful. His examples of real life youths who have battled and overcome their circumstances were nothing short of motivational. I respect this dude more and more. Although i must say, i'm not at all into politics and stuff; however, i absolutely agree that it was a worthwhile watch. How i wished my own country had such a great leader to model. I would surely vouch for him/her should he or she miraculously appear. And yes, NO COLOUR consideration to my statement.
So heres the link to the video of his speech if anyone of you is interested. Watch it before they remove it from CNN.

Thus, i shall end this post with my favourite quote from this amazing man!
"Never let your failures define you; let them teach you." - Barrack Obama.
Cheers Ya'll! ^_^
