Channel 82 http://ch82.com For 82 days in 1968, Robert F. Kennedy ran for President. His campaign was described as magical and mystical. With RFK, we believed that anything was possible. Then his life was tragically cut short. His great potential left unfulfilled. There hasn't been another politician, since RFK, who has inspired this country so profoundly...until Barak Obama. Will Barack Obama be able to recreate the magic of those 82 days?

Obama engages themes raised in his keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, shares personal views on faith and values and offers a vision of the future that involves repairing a “political process that is broken” and restoring a government that has fallen out of touch with the people.

Kennedy and 82 Days That Inspired America http://ch82.com/2008/06/24/the-last-campaign-robert-f-kennedy-and-82-days-that-inspired-america/ http://ch82.com/2008/06/24/the-last-campaign-robert-f-kennedy-and-82-days-that-inspired-america/#comments Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:31:18 +0000 webmaster http://ch82.com/?p=3 When Senator Robert F. Kennedy entered the presidential race during the chaotic year of 1968, anarchy appeared to be gathering on the horizon. America was coming to grips with an unwinnable war in Vietnam and unacceptable social policies at home. The Last Campaign examines Kennedy’s bold (and tragically shortened) efforts to awaken his country’s social conscience and moral sensibility. In contrast to the cocksure attitude of Thirteen Days (RFK’s own 1962 memoir of the Cuban Missile Crisis), Thurston Clarke reveals a very human politician who often trembled at the podium and scanned crowds for an assassin’s glare. Though motivated to serve by an unwavering desire to help the poor and oppressed, Kennedy also lived with a deep fear that his life would be cut short by violence. “I’m afraid there are guns between me and the White House,” he prophetically remarked during the spring of ‘68. Yet The Last Campaign chooses not to explore what could have been. Instead, Clarke focuses on what is certain: for an 82-day period, Kennedy “convinced millions of Americans that he was a good man, perhaps a great man.” –Dave Callanan ]]> http://ch82.com/2008/06/24/the-last-campaign-robert-f-kennedy-and-82-days-that-inspired-america/feed/ Obama TV–Weekly YouTube Address « WriteChic Press http://ch82.com/2008/11/23/obama-tv%e2%80%93weekly-youtube-address-%c2%ab-writechic-press/ http://ch82.com/2008/11/23/obama-tv%e2%80%93weekly-youtube-address-%c2%ab-writechic-press/#comments Sun, 23 Nov 2008 06:00:03 +0000 webmaster Here’s the hope:.
