It has been awhile and this is quite simple. I was inspired by the night on DU, seemed so peaceful and possible. And I love this candidate. Hope you enjoy...

1. Umm....

I like some things about Obama -- intelligence, irony -- but I cringe at your rank sentimentality.

Worship of pols is unbecoming in a democracy. A free citizen regards politicians as public servants, not American Idol faves.

We're citizens in this land rather than subjects of the crown. Get up off your knees, squire!

[Dammit Ann]

2. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

My knees aren't dirty, who are you kneeling before to have such a *ahem* kneejerk reaction to something heartfelt? My God, we are off the deep end here.

[Dammit Ann]

3. AND btw, the AT LAST sentiment you refer to is a reference to this PROLONGED

BULLSHIT of a primary we have all endured. And now, finally, I can come out and say, hey, this is my guy, has been my guy from day one, without getting my head fucked with by people like you. How DARE you call me sentimental and a squire! I am IRISH, I take this shit quite seriously. That is why I have been quiet. UNTIL NOW!

4. thanks

[Dammit Ann]

5. You're welcome?

not sure, hope you were sincere. And Thanks to you, really. Thank you.

6. Good video

Very creative for sure. It puts Obama in a softer move lovable light than the pastorbating that's been going on in the MSM.

[Dammit Ann]

8. Thank you so much. It was meant to show relief after tonight...

not sure that came off, but thank you, as I said it's been a bit since I even tried to make a vid.

[Voice for Peace]

19. yes.. sigh of relief - at last.. thanks!

[ClayZ]

7. Very Nice! K and R

[Dammit Ann]

9. Thanks!

I truly hope Obama supporters get the reference to AT LAST!

[1Hippiechick]

28. AT LAST is absolutely the right title for this video tribute because...

AT LAST he has the nomination;
AT LAST the greatest voice since MLK JR has emerged
AT LAST someone has picked up the gauntlet of the late MLK, JR
AT LAST I will live to see the fruits of all the activist labor
and the list could go on and on.....

I think there may be a collective sigh of AT LAST around the world and in Heaven.

May I suggest that you ignore and rise above any criticisms you have or will receive for this piece? WWOD? (What would Obama do?) O8)

actually, do you still have that earlier video online? if so, please tell me how to find it. i'd love to see it again.

[Dammit Ann]

13. Thank you sincerely.

And yes, my youtube channel still has that vid... the song I found on a whim online and downloaded but I will get on it and find out how to share it. Wow, it has been a long time. You inspire me. Speechless.

15. I got the "At Last" reference right away....

Last night was quite an exciting relief for me also. We have an Obama/Hillary dispute within my own family and now we can bring that to a close. I hope (gulp)

BTW who was that singing with Lou Rawls? excellent!

Thanks for making this video. :thumbsup:

[Dammit Ann]

16. Diana Krall, Mrs. Elvis Costello, actually.

Thanks for enjoying this, you would love her other stuff. And wasn't Rawls the BEST? Damn, you know, music is just needed.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

17. This was a lovely way to greet the day here with my coffee.

Thank You! Enjoyed.

[Dammit Ann]

18. YAY!

GOBAMA! and no, I can no longer talk like a person. bed now. YAY!

[Kokonoe]

20. At last, at last

We know who to stand with.
He stands up for everyone,
its time to back him.

[trickyguy]

22. Simply a breath of fresh air and a gorgeous duet of love. I agree

I love this guy too - Barack Obama.

Why do I always feel good when I see him smile or hear him speak?

I made this as a catharsis, I'm glad I shared it with everyone.

[Dammit Ann]
