Obama: It's All Up to You, Who Do You Trust More?

President Obama in Virginia yesterday: It's all up to you.

“It’s up to you. You’ve got the power,” Obama said. “That’s how democracy’s supposed to be.”

Obama in New Hampshire today:

"Part of this election is not about policy. It's also about who do you trust."

And, have faith in me and we'll win.

"I know I look a little bit older, but I've got a lot of fight left in me. I am not ready to give up on the fight," Mr. Obama shouted in a hoarse voice to a crowd of about 14,000 in Concord. "If you're willing to work with me... if you're willing to turn out for me, we'll win New Hampshire, we'll win this election."

In the movie (New Year's Eve), everyone puts aside their past disappointments, sees the light and takes the leap of faith towards happiness. (Even Katherine Heigel comes around at 1:56 in the second clip.)

Life is not a romantic movie, but the point is the same: Dwell on past broken promises and disappointment and you lose. Having trust and faith in Obama isn't just about what he promises to do. It's also (and more importantly) about what we know he will not do, with respect to abortion, Medicare, Social Security, and appointment of Supreme Court Justices, and immigration.

Democrats can't take anything for granted. We still need a little help from our friends. You have to vote.

Here's Joe Cocker and Have a Little Faith in Me.

From the Seacoast Online newspaper editorial (New Hampshire and Maine papers): Obama Has Earned Our Trust and Support:

In the end, it comes down to trust. We trust President Obama to look out for the health, safety and well-being of all Americans. Unlike his opponent, he hasn't written off nearly half of our fellow citizens through a cynical calculation that they are dependents and moochers and therefore not his constituency. Your ears did not deceive you.

....We trust President Obama to fight for the middle class, to continue growing jobs and educational opportunities. We trust he will work to continue increasing our energy independence while protecting the environment for future generations. We trust him to protect Medicare and Social Security and to build a health care system that expands coverage while reducing overall costs. We trust him to protect women's health choices and to appoint rational, common-sense justices to the Supreme Court. We trust his diplomatic approach to foreign policy. We trust in President Obama's integrity, decency and intelligence.

On Nov. 6, we urge our readers to vote for President Barack Obama.
