Americans of all ages are energized--watch and be amazed!


This evening I drove by a formerly vacant commercial property on Detroit's east side. Tonight however, it was ablaze with activity. The space had been transformed into an east side headquarters for the Obama campaign.

Inside, you could see young, old, black white, urban and suburban-- busy with phones and laptops in tow, working to make a difference during the last seven days of this historic election. I was headed home with my children, but the campaign office certainly looked like a pretty fun place to be. It was alive with energy.

The scene I described made me proud. Something else that's made me proud is a political rap I saw performed a few weeks ago by students from the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta. These kids are amazing! The rap is informative and catchy. It has stuck with me!

So, if you need more evidence as to how much this campaign has energized Americans of all ages, here it is.

As CNN's Kyra Phillips said--"I'd vote for any of these incredible young people for president!"

Watch and be proud!
