Obama: “Al Franken is going to be an important part of a coalition that brings about change.”

Senator Barack Obama made an appearance on WCCO’s Don Shelby Show and had said the following:

I will say that your candidate in Minnesota, Al Franken, is going to be an important part of a coalition that brings about change. He’s really, I think, in this to fight for working families. I’m looking forward to seeing him serve in the Senate.

And if people are looking for fundamental change over the next eight years, then I think an Obama-Biden ticket, Al Franken in the Senate, is going to be the best answer for working families all across the state.

  • That is one great argument:
    It doesn’t happen alone, or in a vacuum!

    There have to be other committed players to make this work.
    Energy & vision directed toward a common goal.

    It is pivotal that this message resonates for the first time in a long time.

    ALSO needed is a public that actually pays attention to the detail, for a change.
    Its easy to be against everything & assume nothing will ever work. To be “Debbie Downer” in your own future.
    Those people are not fun to be around.

    Which means you are self-destructive.
    You expect the worst & you may never be disappointed,
    just unhappy.
