Dan Endorses Barack Obama


Click here to watch this scene on youtube

Dan has been following the presidential campaign with great passion.  He has been talking my ear off recently about Senator Obama and I decided, after his speech in our native Philadelphia, that it was time to ask Dan to share his thoughts.  I have always thought my brother to be an excellent judge of character and I feel his opinion is as valuable as the most famous or respected political authority because he speaks the truth and adds nothing more.

Please pass this along if you believe in having something to believe in.  Be it Dan, or Barack, or Hillary, or McCain, or Ralph Nader, or yourself.

Well Dan you obviously know alot more about politics than I do. That's not a joke! So you think Obama's wife is hot. This made me smile. Now I have to go google her since I have no idea what she looks like. haha

Dan, I've just watched your endorsement video of Barack Obama and had to immediately post it to youbama.com

You know that there's a risk that stupid people might make fun of you because of your video, but I salute you for your good judgment. Good luck to you and Will (but for heavens sake try to get your Mother to change her vote to Obama too!)

There will be a rally near where you live soon, try to get tickets. You deserve to meet Senator Obama in person.

Dan,
I appreciate your honesty. It reminds me of a certain canidate with a really great wife! I linked to your endorsement through americablog. I had been having a really bad day and your smile really brightened my evening. I will be keeping up with you!

Hi Dan,
Even though we don't have the same political views you opened my eyes to the thought of my daughter one day voting. Something I never thought about until I watched your video. I sent this to Oprah, it will be fun if she actually views it!
You are a great role model.

My sister has been a Democratic political consultant for several years and she LOVED this post. She said she was letting her friends at the Obama campaign know about your site and this post... (so don't change sides and say anything bad about him in case he stops by... LOL)
