The belief that our destiny will not be written for us, but by us, by all those men and women who are not content to settle for the world as it is, who have the courage to remake the world as it should be."

David from Chicago: BOTH of them voted for "The Great Wall of Mexico". Clinton mentioned that fact in last night's debate on CNN. Look it up. mun2, why was that fact omitted in the immigration sections? And since you are from Chicago like me, you probably already know that Obama participated in ae Mexican Independance Day parade AND spoke at the marcha for immigrant rights on May 1, 2006. I was there, were you? I'm just keeping it real.

There's just something about Barack Obama, that I don't like. But it doesn't really matter, since I'm not old enough to vote anyways...
