Quote by Barack Obama
I know that campaigns can seem small, and even silly. Trivial thin

I know that campaigns can seem small, and even silly. Trivial things become big distractions. Serious issues become sound bites. And the truth gets buried under an avalanche of money and advertising. If youre sick of hearing me approve this message, believe me – so am I. – Barack Obama
