Why Barack Obama?

This was developed as a script for the Moveon.org "Obama in 30 Seconds" contest, but not produced:

(Still photos with pans over the pictures. Obama making speeches, audiences listening attentively, and so on.)

They say he speaks too well: it can’t be real.

They say his vision is too good: it can’t be practical.

They say he won’t fight back: not tough enough.

They say he should abandon his friends: he won’t.

They say a Chicago politician can’t be trusted: he's risky.

They say judgement is not enough: he lacks experience.

Eloquence, vision, dignity, loyalty, character, judgement: The right kind of experience.

Obama for President
