One Dream. This is a video message to America. Barack Obama is clearly running for President, not Vice President. I believe in the Hope that Barack Obama is offering to America. Obama represents one hope for America and one dream for Americans. As the USA is the leading power in the world, it's leader is positioned to bring the world unity. Barak Obama is the one candidate who seems to have what it takes to change this nation and this world. I believe that America is one great country. I am excited about the current elections because there are more people getting involved. This is a great time to be an American because we have the potential to bring about a shift in the global culture. I believe that hope is not enough but it is a great start. Obama is the only candidate that embodies the best of America, and Americas best candidate.
