Michelle Obama clearly outlines an essential message for World Peace in a speech she gave last summer.
THE POSSIBILITY OF BARACK OBAMA
A Recent Speech By
Michelle Obama
It was fear.
Fear Again.
Fear
Fear of everything.
Fear that we might loose.
Fear that we might get hurt
Fear that this would be ugly
Fear that it would hurt our family.
Fear!
But you know the reason why I said yes;
was because I am tired of being afraid.
I, I am, I am tired of living in a country where every decision that we’ve made over the last ten years wasn’t for something, but it was because people told us we had to fear something. We had to fear people who looked different from us. Fear people who believed in things that were different from us, fear of one another right here in our own back yards.
I am so tired of fear. And I don’t want my girls to live in a country, in a world based on fear; and the thing that I want you all to remember, please, please, don’t base your vote this time on fear. Base it on possibility. Think, listen.
The game of politics is to make you afraid so that you don’t think. And what we need right now isn’t political rhetoric, it isn’t games playing; we need leadership, we need people with judgment, we need decent people, people with common sense, people with strong family values, people who understand the world.
We need a man like Barack Obama who, who you know on the day that he is elected to office will Change the way the world sees us. You know that.
IF YOU WILL NOT ALLOW FEAR TO STOP YOU, PLEASE PASS THIS FLYER ALONG.
“Few are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change. Each time a person stands up for an idea, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.” --Robert F. Kennedy, South Africa, 1966
