Obama resources

Barack Obama is in Minneapolis this afternoon, but the event is already “sold out” (free tickets, but you need one to get in). We’d already been planning a neighborhood conversation, anyway, so we’re not going. But I wanted to post here (just because it’s handy for me later) some of the useful Obama stuff I tend to share with people.

• Yes, We Can music video
• Obama's campaign site
• A powerful speech on faith and politics that Obama gave back in 2006, well before this campaign started
• Information on Obama's donor base
• Barack Obama's speech at Ebenezer Baptist Church (video)
• Obama's South Carolina victory speech (video)
• Lawrence Lessig's endorsement of Obama
• Garrison Keillor's endorsement
• Caroline Kennedy's endorsement of Obama
• Toni Morrison's endorsement
• Moveon.org's endorsement (and tools to get involved and help out)
• George Lakoff's endorsement
• Andrew Sullivan (on the TheAtlantic) on Why Obama Matters
• A collection of Barack Obama speeches, interviews, etc. in video format up at YouTube
• Some individual responses (collected by a British newspaper) to Obama
• Analysis of candidates on poverty issues
• A combined Jewish response to the nasty emails circulating about Obama
• Barbara Ehrenreich on why we need a movement
