Hi everyone although this doesn't directly have to do with going green I couldn't resist posting this after reading a German article with this picture. All politicians this year are claiming they are going to do tons for the environment and soon I plan to blog about Obama's and McCains stances. Tonight just enjoy the Obama button a vendor was selling to the crowd of 200,000 in Berlin last Thursday. Take care and keep going green!

Here are some Obama quotes:
ReplyDelete"It becomes clear in the most trying of times that our greatest strength is born of strife and unity is our constant wellspring of hope."
"The walls between us are walls within us. The power of our struggle takes flight upon the wings, upon the clarion call of our forefather's dreams of freedom."
"We live in trying times, and our greatest hope for change is that the human spirit will take wing and set us aflight to a new world of progress, hope, and prosperity."
"The future will not do for the urgency of the challenges set before us, and we must seize upon our time, our place, our moment, to change this world for the betterment of future generations. This is our struggle; this is our promise."
"Our challenges are great if we remain divided, but if we stand together, there is no challenge too great for us."
"The cornerstone of our compassion is our yearning for social justice. We can call out injustice from where it hides, and shine the light and power of our dreams upon it. This is our greatest hope for progress."
"The shortcomings we face are arbitrary limitations pressed upon us by failing to believe in the true power of our aspirations. Our sacrifice and allegiance can only strengthen our cause to the extent that we fully believe in the power and meaning of our lives."
Hope you enjoyed those.
Now, here's the truth: I made up every one of those. Obama (to my knowledge!) never said any of these things.
It's pretty easy to make up a bunch of truth-hope-unity-justice talk.
