Red States and Blue States

I first heard of Barack Obama when he gave a speech at the 2004 Democratic Convention.  He was described as an up-and-coming star of the party, someone who might be a strong presidential candidate...in 2012 or 2016.  I guess he got started a little earlier than that.

Anyway...when I heard that speech, I was pretty inspired.  He spoke about the fact that our country isn't as divided as the pundits like to imply -- the fact is, we are one country, one nation, and we fundamentally care about one another, and that's how the United States manages to hang together.  This vision really spoke to me, and I did what any budding musician would do with that inspiration -- I did a remix.  For some reason, I never felt like I "finished" it, so I never posted it publicly before.  Truth is, it's pretty well finished, and I think now is exactly the right time to put it out there and hope that somebody else finds it inspirational.  So, without further ado, here's my remix of Barack Obama's speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention:
