Barack Obama: What we gain by stopping the war
Uploaded on Jul 15, 2007
Barack Obama talks to the crowd in Manchester, Iowa about exactly what the war in Iraq is costing the American people.
We were having town hall meetings in my state going over the cost by district. The amount of taxes paid per capita going to D.C. and how it was ruining our quality of life. The details just made us angrier. We knew:
'This is why we can't have nice things.'
Our represetatives got an angry earful and we kept on learning. That things are complicated beyond anything we've been taught, but Obama knows that. It's time for mankind to move foreward and not back again.
We are the change, no one else.
