OBAMA: We are what we have been waiting for!

[FrenchieCat]

Skeptics of the Obama campaign have been asking....what's all of this hope about? What does it mean? What is this "cult" of Obamanians chanting about?

and so, in answer, I say.....It is really elementary!

What many here, at this community, have been wanting is a bigger voice in the actions of our government. One that is not drowned out by the media and the Republican Noise Machine. That's what many online communities and grassroot communities have sorely been dreaming of; hoping for.

And so, our time has come! Obama is offering us this opportunity, one we have been longing for, for years. He is letting us know in very clear terms that this election is to be about us, and be powered by us for us.

We are entering the era of "We the People"!

Do what you can for us to get there. Support Barack Obama's candidacy.

Listen closely to Barack's speech. He doesn't mince words.

2. this phrase has been said by "New Ager's" for decades

the New Age movement loves this phrase, along with the 'helping professions' community.

12. It's from a Hopi prayer:

3. That was a great line.

It's not an original thought, but it's a motivating one. I liked that a lot. I'm proud that so much of our country voted for him yesterday. I won't vote for him in the primaries because I feel that Clinton represents me better, but I will not discount his persuasive powers.

Video endorsement here! She likes him that much! :)

5. Maria Shriver/Hopi Indian Prayer: We are what we have been waiting for.

Maria Shriver used that quote at the UCLA rally on Saturday. She said it was a line from a Hopi Indian prayer. Obama should repeat it... loud ....and often.

6. Hopi's and many others (variations) the intention is to 'empower'

[ursi]

8. ...very empowering! We instead of Me!

[FrenchieCat]

11. Yes We can...instead of Yes SHE can!

That's the difference! HUGHE.........! :)

10. Hopi Elders' Prophecy:

Hopi Elders' Prophecy
Oraibi, Arizona, June 8, 2000

You have been telling people that this is the Eleventh Hour, now you
must go back and tell the people that this is the Hour. And there are
things to be considered. . . .
Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in right relation?
Where is your water?

Know your garden.
It is time to speak your truth.
Create your community.
Be good to each other.
And do not look outside yourself for your leader.

Then he clasped his hands together, smiled, and said, "This could be a
good time! There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and
swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on
to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer
greatly. Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let
go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes
open, and our heads above the water.

And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in
history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all ourselves. For
the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey come to a halt.
The time of the one wolf is over. Gather yourselves!
Banish the word 'struggle' from your attitude and your vocabulary. All
that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.

We are the ones we've been waiting for.
