Obama packed out the Target Center (home of the Timberwolves) today leading up to the Tuesday caucus. He hit hard on the issues of war, education, health insurance, and the environment.  Barack has a plan not only to get us out of Iraq but to limit our dependence on Middle Eastern oil.  So, under Obama, we'll get out and stay out.  Limiting our general use of oil will also limit carbon emissions and save the environment.  He already succeeded in temporarily increasing light rail ridership by over 100% (photo right). 

His solutions for education and health insurance are not "fairy tales" but realistic solutions to these vital issues.  He mentioned that the money wasted in the Iraq war could have been used on attacking these issues, but his main message was forward-looking, one of hope and change through dialogue with world leaders and extra work on the part of young Americans.
